I've added a mockup and mini-spec for the progress window. Thanks very
much BUGabundo for your help with this.

Martin, if you know of any other programs that use and rely on a
specific non-zero expire_timeout, please let me know. Our assumption has
been that for any expire_timeout other than zero, it won't matter if
Notify OSD decides the duration itself instead.

Bug description:
gnome-mount 0.8-1ubuntu1, Ubuntu Jaunty

When a removable storage device is taking non-trivial time to unmount (flushing 
the cache), gnome-mount puts up a "Writing data to device" notification asking 
you not to disconnect it while that's happening. Because it is persistent, 
Notify OSD renders this notification as a suboptimal fallback alert box.

Instead, gnome-mount should use a progress window containing the warning text.

It may save time to fix bug 325315 at the same time as this bug.
