Lubuntu 12.04 beta 2: "USB detach bug"

[selairi at gmail.com]

Finally I have done a deb package. Then you can install the script and
go to Lubuntu/Accesories/Extract pendrive icon.

You can add icon to panel, see attached image.

Installer is in:

Source code is in:

I'm reading documentation for ubuntu ppa.

Thanks
