It's an Ubuntu patch to nautilus introduced in dapper :
* debian/patches/08_unmount_progress_dialog.patch:
- Remove ugly line break from label and avoid excess padding.
- Only show the progress dialog for read-write volumes and only for
certain classes of drives where it makes sense (not for CD-ROMs, for
example). (Malone #34274)
