Copy/paste of an irc discussion between Brian and me:

2009/07/07 - [23:34:38] (Corsac): kelnos_: I just discovered volstatus-icon                                                         
2009/07/07 - [23:35:09] (Corsac): kelnos_: nice idea, but shouldn't it be a good idea to display the icon as soon as a removable device is inserted (even before there's a mounted volume)
2009/07/07 - [23:35:34] (Corsac): and it seems that mounting it from thunar and having thunar open on the mountpoint prevents volstatus-icon to umount it
2009/07/07 - [23:35:36] (Corsac): not sure why
2009/07/08 - [00:37:04] (kelnos): Corsac: no
2009/07/08 - [00:37:23] (kelnos): i'm really tired of the school of thought that exposing mount/unmount in GUIs is a good idea
2009/07/08 - [00:37:58] (kelnos): either the device is mounted and ready to use, or it's ejected and/or not physically present
2009/07/08 - [00:38:22] (kelnos): if you're not using an automounter, then you aren't in volstatus' target audience
2009/07/08 - [00:39:08] (kelnos): if having thunar on the mount point prevents volstatus from ejecting the device, that's a bug in  thunar
2009/07/08 - [00:39:21] (kelnos): it probably has files open at the time for mime type sniffing or thumbnailing or something

So basically (as Brian re-told on another message), we're just no in the
intended user-base, that's all.

Cheers,
