(Get the code!)
I installed the HAL stuff from feisty-backports too, and while it is better (the Unmount command in the menu works) I don't think it's as good as the way things worked when I ran dapper. In dapper (not sure about edgy, because I never ran it), the Eject command unmounted an external hard drive and then the drive would spin down. In feisty, the same drive doesn't spin down. Sometimes I just turn it off while it's still spinning (which I hope is safe), or sometimes I'll run "sudo eject /dev/foo" which does in fact cause it to spin down.
It seems to me that replacing the Eject command with Unmount is a decent temporary workaround, but ideally the Eject functionality should be fixed and then Eject should be returned to the menu in Nautilus.
