Matthew, where is that mockup/mini-spec?

Two questions to our design gurus:

 - "Writing data..." alert window: do you prefer an indefinite progress
bar, or no progress bar at all? (with current Linux there is no way to
predict when the cache flushing will be finished, so we can't have a
definite progress bar)

 - The "Device is now safe to remove" event: should that stay a normal
notification bubble? Or be integrated in above alert window and
disappear automatically after 10 seconds or so?

"Writing data to device" appears as fallback alert

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.
