Ops, haha, I just have to select it to as well get that arrow, sorry :)

If I get that correct, the gtk3 dialog does a bad job. The arrow is always
called "unmount".
On my smartphone that seems to work fine. Clicking on it after unmount will
just re-mount the phone.
But on an usb flashdrive pressing it will result in a ejecting the stick, I
have to plug it out and re-insert it ...  not exactly what I expected, since
the tooltip says "unmount".

So I dont think that we should follow that approach, which does not differ at
all between unmount and eject. I would rather open a bug aganist
GtkFileChooserDialog to ask them to differ between eject and unmount. Therefore
"wontfix" for this bug.

Though I guess we could improve thunar by showing a tooltip "eject" on the
eject button to better reflect its purpose .. if you like that ide, feel free
to open a new bug for it !
