 When plug a device, Gnome open a Nautilus window, and in the devices
 section show the name of the device with a button to unmount it, but if
 you try, show a dialog asking confirmation, because the device is busy
 (Nautilus is using it). You can change to other directory, but is not
 intuitive.

 We are not alone with this issue [1]

 There are a bug (now fixed) in F17 regarding to umount not working well.
