Title:
  "Writing data to device" appears as fallback alert

Status in Gnome wrapper for (un)mounting and ejecting storage devices:
  Expired
Status in “gnome-mount” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  gnome-mount 0.8-1ubuntu1, Ubuntu Jaunty

  When a removable storage device is taking non-trivial time to unmount
  (flushing the cache), gnome-mount puts up a "Writing data to device"
  notification asking you not to disconnect it while that's happening.
  Because it is persistent, Notify OSD renders this notification as a
  suboptimal fallback alert box.

  Instead, gnome-mount should use a progress window containing the
  warning text.

  It may save time to fix bug 325315 at the same time as this bug.
