Comment 31 for bug 23293

Sebastien made a valid point (Although I would prefer for myself that the windows just close automatically). How about this proposal:

When I unmount a volume, the right area of a nautilus window (with the files) goes gray, with a message in the center like "Please wait while writing data to the device" or "The device is being prepared for removal" (for writable devices). After unmounting is complete, the message changes to "The device can now be safely removed" (For non-ejectable devices) or "The CD-ROM/DVD-ROM/whatever has been ejected" with a "Close window" button below.

- The window would not disappear "magically"
- The "Close window" button is bigger than the little [X] and thus is easier to hit, as in most cases this is what the user wants anyways.
- The status of the unmount process is displayed where the user probably had the attention before: in the nautilus window. As unmounting a volume is in our case triggered manually from within nautilus, I do not consider this a "global" event to appear as a black notification bubble in the upper right corner.
