Although "Won't Fix" may be right for the bug against gvfs, there is a
bug here which really, really needs fixing. Steps to reproduce on my
machine:

1. Boot to desktop and log in.
2. Insert a memory card and wait for the icon to appear on desktop.
3. Select "Safely Remove Drive" in the contextual menu.

After step 3, the built-in 7-in-1 memory-card reader on my Dell inspiron
is unusable without a reboot. To the end-user, there is no difference
between a "disk" and a "drive" and a whatever. So the user (me) will
choose "Safely Remove Drive" just as often as "Eject". Indeed, the added
word "Safely" makes it seem like the better option.

I think the bug is that the option "Safely Remove Drive" appears at all.
For example, with my built-in CD drive, the option "Safely Remove Drive"
does not appear: only "Eject". For other built-in drives with removable
media, the menu should be the same (although the word "Eject" is a bit
awkward.)
