Comment 12 for bug 332600

Just to correct some misunderstandings here: These bubbles appear when you are unmounting a device. If that takes a bit, because the write cache still needs to be written back to it, you first get a notification which says "please do not remove...", and once the cache is flushed and unmounting is complete, you get a new notification "device is now safe to remove".

This is one case where a fixed notification time just doesn't work (I also brought that up very early when I complained about not providing any method of overriding the time).

What do you mean with "proper alert box"? There shouldn't ever be a dialog box which the user has to act on, since the situation will just resolve itself. If the user has to click away two dialog boxes each time he unmounts a device, he will rightfully go crazy..
