KDE: 'safely remove' does not safely remove

The problem I have seen is that the device icon on the KDE 
desktop changes immediately after "safely remove" to indicate 
that the device is unmounted and ready to be removed, but the 
system is actually still in the process of writing data to the 
device. If the device is removed too early, some files will be 
missing or the filesystem may be corrupted and there's no way to 
know when it's actually safe to remove it.
