Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-disk-utility

When trying to unmount an internal partition, ie one defined in fstab,
palimpsest reports something along the lines of:

Error unmounting: umount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with:
umount: only root can unmount UUID=b40a9324-52c8-4733-a460-ac5648da5d06 from /g

I would expect palimpsest to trap this error and then prompt for admin
privileges and to retry, in the same way it prompts for your password if
you ask it to format a drive.
