Well, you can't really "eject" a USB device, it's just the iPod being
weird,
it's safe to disconnect it once it is unmounted.
Well, I know that. But in the past (KDE3) this worked. And it is, lets
say not straight forward, to disconnect a device which claims not to do
so. Imagine an unexperienced user. What would this user do?
May be there is a clever dbus/udev rule to avoid this situation.
