Erm, not on my machine. I have to use umount from a CLI. Using
the desktop icon results in the disc being ejected.
Strange - here (FC4) I have the options of both umount and eject. Could it be
a kde/gnome difference? Of course the issue is to make sure that it's
umounted, so it doesn't matter what method is used.
