The Notify OSD specification includes a description of exactly how
safe-to-disconnect messages should be displayed.
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD#gnome-disk-utility>

If Karmic is not following that specification, please report a bug
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-disk-utility> with
steps to reproduce, and give the bug report the "notifications" tag.

Thanks
