My zaurus spitz comes with a CF and an SD card slot.
Is there a panel applet that lets me mount and more importantly unmount

Mount should happen automatically. As default mount options contain
sync, you can eject you card whenever no writing is in progress (at
least for vfat and other filesystems without dirty flag).
But I agree, that feedback is needed. I am not aware of any suitable
tool for GPE.
I am inclined to reopen bug

It seems to be a real problem, as many combinations of card & program
still write ~60kB/sec with sync mount and ~1500kB/sec with async mount.
It was researched in past:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=105871
The result is the "flush" mount option, which behaves like "async", but
flushes all pending buffers during close(), retaining both the maximal
write speed on flash devices and consistent system state after calling
close() (or from GUI perspective: When save finishes.)
However busybox mount seems to be not yet aware of "flush" mount option,
so some code changes would be required.
OK, I uploaded a quick and dirty 'replacement' for
matchbox-applet-cards. It will mount/unmount flash memory cards and
take wifi down. It will turn socket power on and off.

You need xdialog to make it work. Get it here:
http://www.seiner.com/spitz/armv5te/xdialog_2.3.1-r0_armv5te.ipk
and then get cardmon:
http://www.seiner.com/spitz/cardmon.tar.gz and untar it into the root
dir. It will create two new applets: /usr/local/bin/cfeject and
/usr/local/bin/sdeject, along with appropriate pixmaps and files.
This will most likely only work with a spitz as it hardcodes sd and cf
card locations and mount points.
