Description of problem: 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.

Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
