"Eject" seems to have gone missing here too.

This is a problem for two reasons:

- on USB sticks with more than one partition, previously "Eject"
unmounted all partitions. Without "Eject" I need to right-click on each
of them. That's a usability regression.

- On iPods and other sticks with an "safe/unsafe-to-remove" display,
software ejection causes that display to changefrom Unsafe to Safe.
That's a worse regression because there's sometimes a nontrivial
interval during which the system still flushes data to disk after an
unmount/eject command. iPods do not have a blinking disk access light
and there's no other way to find out whether you've waited long enough.

The "eject" command-line tool still does the right thing, so something
seems to have changed lately which now causes G-V-M to miss the fact
that the volume is on an ejectable medium.
