I've been using the mount applet too, since its the easiest way to access all my mounts.
I see a balloon when I unplug my pendrives.
Actually I see 2 balloons... one for half a second telling me that data is still being write to disk (even if nothing has been written in hours) and just after that a new balloon telling me I can remove the device.
I guess there's some test that runs, shows the 1st balloon, and only then ejects the pen.
