[Bug 70417] "safely remove" isnt safe

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdebase

Using "safely remove" on a usb memory stick causes the desktop icon to
disappear immediately, without waiting for any cached writes to
complete.

I have observed this behaviour in both edgy and dapper with kde-355,
with two different memory sticks.

kde-353 used to show a progress bar while flushing the cached writes.
This was still less than ideal because the progress bar stuck at 0% then
jumped to 100% once writing was complete, but at least you knew when it
was safe to remove the device.

** Affects: kdebase (Ubuntu)
