Because LTSP mounts aren't HAL aware yet, there's no real way to make an
unmount appear on the menu.  So that's one issue.

The other one is, we've been consistently told by users that they HATE having
to manually eject USB devices, and they feel NOT having to do it with thin
clients is a huge bonus.

I think Linux should work that you don't need to unmount either.  Users
NATURALLY just want to yank the stick when they're done: it's logical
human nature.
