Comment 45 for bug 569994

My system is dell640m with lucid lynx (updated).
I've used the following workaround:
I've associated my eject key with a script that call eject (it works) and show the icon.
This is the script:
#!/bin/sh
notify-send "Icon" "Only" -i notification-device-eject -h string:x-canonical-private-icon-only:
eject

To have notify-send command in lucid you have to install the package libnotify-bin.

Let me know if it works also in 11.10.
