Bug Description
on Gutsy Gibbon, if you remove a memory stick from USB, without doing any action first, you get a nice little popup which says: Unsafe device removal...
To avoid serious data loss, disable removable drives with the "Eject" option in the drive icon's context menu on the desktop, Computer place, or drive.
But, if you go to the context menu of the drive, there is no "Eject" - you have to think/know about "Unmount volume"... that's linux command line speak... not desktop gui speak!
Whether or not you agree with that, the popup and the context menu should use the same term (and my preference would be "Eject", not "Unmount volume"... those days are gone ;)
