Description of problem: A pop-up occurs without any useful information after trying to dismount removeable media. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): $ rpm -q nautilus nautilus-2.16.2-7.fc6 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to dismount a USB flashdrive using the right-click menu inside Nautilus, while something else is using that drive as their current working directory (e.g. a gnome-terminal). 2. Click away the sensible error message telling you that it can't unmount the volume, because something else is still using it. 3. A few moments after that message goes away, a blank one appears. You have no idea what you're okaying. Actual results: Expected results: Not to get an anonymous pop-up information asking you to okay something it doesn't tell you what (you could be okaying deleting files, for all you know). Additional info: It first appeared for an unknown reason. I didn't associate it with what I'd just done, at first, because of a delay, and I was doing other things at the time.

I thought I'd closed this bugzilla entry, as the problem hasn't recurred when I moved up to Fedora 7. I'm not even sure whether the problem went away on FC6 with one of the updates since I made the report, I can't remember. I didn't think there'd be any more updates for FC6, by now.
Thank you for the bug report. Closing bug as per comment #3.
