I can recreate the behaviour you see by right-clicking on the desktop
icon. The error I see is "umount: /media/home is not in the fstab (and
you are not root)", which is the same error I see when running "umount"
from the command line.

I ran umount through strace, and it tries to execute the helper
"/sbin/umount.fuse.sshfs" to unmount the volume, but this doesn't exist.

Perhaps this is a bug in util-linux.
