I discovered that usb-creator-gtk fails to unmount the ISO image it was
using when I hit the Quit button.
Sometimes it at least unmounts the sqashfs mount it creates on the usb
stick, sometimes not.
after I discovered this after a couple failed attempts, and I manually
unmounted the ISO images. I then attempted to create a usb drive again,
and again, after it failed, I discovered that the ISO was still mounted:
/home/bladernr/Downloads/ubuntu-15.04-desktop-amd64.iso on
/tmp/tmpwilfzjih type iso9660 (ro)
To recreate this, you have to get it to fail per bug 1497445 and use the
Quit button in the error dialog box, then check with the mount command
to see the ISO still mounted.
Interestingly, after I did a 15.04, I tried a Wily image and discovered
that it not only left the Vivid ISO mounted when it failed, it also left
both the wily image mounted as well as the squashfs from the wily
attempt.
