Public bug reported:

When unmounting isn't possible due to a blocking condition (usually an
open file), nautilus displays a warning dialog listing the
conditions/applications which have open files under the mount path. When
the files are closed, nautilus doesn't recognize that and keeps
displaying the dialog while in the background the unmounting takes place
and one has to select `Abort` or `Unmount nevertheless` in order to
close the dialog.

In case it is intended to not simply let a dialog disappear because it
might be bad user feedback the content of the dialog should change
explaining what just happened (that there's been a blocking condition
which has in the meantime be resolved and that the dialog can be closed
without any effect). Of course there then needs to be an option which
allows control over whether the dialog's content's changed or whether it
disappears.

Steps to reproduce:

  * Mount an USB connected or another external device, open a terminal and change the directory to the mount point (usually `/media/$USER/<uuid of filesystem>`)
  * press the `eject` button for the filesystem; a warning is displayed that applications are still using the device and list contains `gnome-terminal` or `Terminal`)
  * type `cd` in the terminal and see how the unmounting takes place in the file view of `nautilus`, but the dialog persists

experienced with 3.10.1; worked like a charm with a previous unknown
version.
