Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

currently, there are two ways to eject removable media:
1. places->computer->right click and eject media.
problem: not immediately recognizeable, requires 3 steps.
2. desktop->right click on device, choose unmount.
->requires to show the desktop, or to switch workspace: interrupts  work flow.


alternative: add an eject button next to the removable device name, in a similar way
to how Tomboy (>0.5.1) behaves with its sticky button:

similar to:
1. tomboy,
2. itunes ipod eject.

** Affects: gnome-panel (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Unconfirmed
