Should unmount at the end of installation.

[Evan]

Binary package hint: usb-creator

usb-creator was made to not unmount the filesystem in karmic because I was worried that we'd be ripping the mount point out from under the user if they had a nautilus window open. However, there are problems with this. Calling sync rather than umount has the disadvantage that it will flush buffers for all block devices. Even running sync does not appear to be sufficient for some cases (run KVM with the device just after running usb-creator).

The user shouldn't be mucking about with the disk while it's installing anyway. In lucid, lets switch back to unmounting the filesystem. We can retain the "flushing writes to the disk" message and just use it to describe the umount call. However, this message should also contain a pulsing progress bar, rather than one fixed at a certain percentage.

  * Set the install window as translatable. Thanks Milo Casagrande
    (LP: #414742).
  * Fix a typo in the Windows frontend (LP: #454926).
  * Use a close button instead of a quit button in the GTK+ frontend
    (LP: #285916).
  * Change the program title (not the program name) to "Startup Disk
    Creator" as usb-creator writes to more than just USB disks these days
    (LP: #275138).
  * In the GTK+ frontend, scan the download directory on startup and add
    all the CD and disk images (LP: #441104).
  * Expand the path provided by the -i option to its absolute
    (LP: #458497).
  * Unmount the target device rather than calling sync (LP: #457510).

  * bin/usb-creator-helper: Supply start-time in the PolicyKit subject struct,
    so that this also works with current polkit-1 in lucid.
