Incorrect handling of unmounted media

[PeterKraus]

The gnome-volume-manager handles unmounting of certain media incorrectly in circumstances as follows:

1) I plug in U3 Intuix style USB stick (partitioned like read only CD drive-isofs and read-write vfat partition).
2) Gnome pops up the icons on the desktop correctly.
3) I launch vmware, the drives are both detected correctly.
4) I unmount the drives using virtualised guest OS in vmware (WXP), windows reports success, I close the vmware.
5) The RW vfat partition is unmounted and the icon is removed from the desktop.
6) The CDROM icon is not unmounted and does not disappear when the disc is removed, it can't be deleted, and duplicate icon is created when the flash key is inserted once again.

Therefore I think, that GVM handles the detection of presence of CD-roms incorrectly.

Could you please attach the output of the following commands:
lsb_release -a
uname -a
apt-cache policy gnome-volume-manager

uname -a:

apt-cache....:

The thing happens even without mounting the drive in vmware. The problem is - not ejecting the "cdrom" device leads to keeping the icon on the desktop. The read-write media icon is always removed...

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Thanks in advance.
