We should just show "Safely Remove", since technically you can't
"eject" an USB key. The problem is that almost all USB sticks out
there lie and claim that they have removable media (which is why
"eject" is shown in the first place). We do not currently know a way
to second-guess/work around that, I'm afraid.
