Comment: I'm not sure the notification icon is a good idea. Some removable devices, like cds or external harddrives, may be mounted for a long time, having them in the notification area seems to clutter the notification area with little gain. The HIG states that the usefulness of the notification area rapidly decreases if more than four items are there (Section 2.4), I can see this taking one or two items all the time for a not too small number of users. On the other hand, it's clear that many users don't know that usb devices have to be unmounted so there's no data loss, and some education here would be a good idea though. But do these users really click on unknown items in their notification area? And having a notification bubble (like the update manager) everytime you put in a new cd might become annyoing very fast. Fully agree on the first point, "Unmount" is not a particularly clear wording for this. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
