Bug Description
Binary package hint: kdebase
Using "safely remove" on a usb memory stick causes the desktop icon to disappear immediately, without waiting for any cached writes to complete.
I have observed this behaviour in both edgy and dapper with kde-355, with two different memory sticks.
kde-353 used to show a progress bar while flushing the cached writes. This was still less than ideal because the progress bar stuck at 0% then jumped to 100% once writing was complete, but at least you knew when it was safe to remove the device.

I can confirm this is an issue on Kubuntu 6.10. Is there a workaround, such as manually flushing cached writes?
