I have a new proposal for gutsy.
Remove current patch to kdebase. (revert to ubuntu19)

I have written a small KDE application that works as a wrapper around kio_media_mounthelper.
It provides a progressbar, and shows up instantly.

This is a feisty package for the thing at:
 http://frode.kde.no/misc/kio_umountwrapper/

To remove the old progressbar you need /usr/bin/kio_media_mounthelper from
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/feisty/i386/kdebase-kio-plugins/4:3.5.6-0ubuntu19

You can either install the package directly and live with the conflicting versions or unpack the .deb with the following commands:
$ mkdir debtmp
$ ar xf kdebase-kio-plugins_3.5.6-0ubuntu19_i386.deb
$ tar -zxf data.tar.gz

NOTE: The next command will overwrite your current /usr/bin/kio_media_mounthelper,
to restore it use the command: 'sudo aptitude reinstall kdebase-kio-plugins'

$ sudo cp usr/bin/kio_media_mounthelper /usr/bin/

You can now test safely removing.

Feedback please!
