Yes, the message wont explain it in enough detail to the end user.
It even scares him.

No other app was using the DVD ROM.
Just plain old Nautilus...
Microsoft address this situations by either closing the explorer window, or 
moving up a level.

About the latter, see bug 91239: "Cannot unmount volume: show which 
application(s) still use the drive" [1]. This is a bitesize work that could be 
worth a bounty for somebody motivated.

That's a much better explanation than the error message. So you're
right, it's not a bug: it's two bugs. One is that the error message is
unhelpful, and the other is that the CD should be ejectable if the only
programs that were using it aren't running any more.

Cheers
