Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-volume-manager

Ubuntu Lucid show a popup when you umount the drive telling you the
drive can be safely unplugged. But if some process locks a file in the
drive, it show you a message telling which process and file are locked.
But this happens AFTER the popup that tells you can safely remove you
drive, in a "race condition". Ive not noticed notting wrong in logs, and
i think its only a evaluation problem, but if some detail is needed, i
can reproduce it locally.

Steps i did to find the issue:

1) Plugged the pendrive
2) Open a MP3 file with VLC
3) Umounted the pendrive.

Note i have umounted the drive with VLC open because i told to VLC to
close, but some vlc process has remained in memory.

Description:    Ubuntu lucid (development branch)

me to report it correctly.
