When trying to unmount a filesystem via the disk mount applet
while the filesystem is still in use, gnome-mount displays a useful
error message:
+---[]-----------------------------+
| Cannot unmount volume |
| |
| An application is preventing the |
| volume 'foobar' from being |
| unmounted. |
| [ OK ] |
+----------------------------------+
It comes from gnome-mount and has no window title, but at
least it shows some kind-of informative text.
After the user clicks [OK], /usr/libexec/drivemount_applet2
shows this useless error dialog:
+-[Unmo]-+
| |
| [OK]|
+--------+
xwininfo tells that the title should be "Unmount Error".
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-applets-2.22.1-1.fc9.i386
How reproducible:
always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Insert any hotpluggable device with a filesystem.
2. Wait for hal/gnome-mount to work their magic and mount the FS.
3. Open terminal window and "cd /media/proper-dir" to simulate the app.
4. Click "Unmount foo" in the disk drive mounter applet.
Actual results:
+-[Unmo]-+
| |
| [OK]|
+--------+
Expected results:
Either a useful error message or none at all, as gnome-mount has already
popped up one.
Additional info:
The useless empty error dialog does NOT pop up when trying to unmount the
filesystem from the Gnome file manager thingie (is it still called
nautilus?) or by running "gnome-mount -u -d /dev/sdb1" from a terminal.
This makes me think the "Disk Mounter" applet is the culprit.
Oh, and why does the "*Disk* Mounter 2.22.1" (About dialog) correspond to
the /usr/libexec/*drive*mount_applet2 executable (emphasis mine)? That is
confusing, to say the least.
