Description Tim Foster 2004-07-10 12:33:11 UTC 
This is mostly a usability bug. When you try to drag a CD or other removable
media device from the desktop to the trash (with the intention of ejecting it -
folks used to MacOS will most likely do this a lot), Nautilus pops up a dialog
box saying :

"You cannot delete a volume icon
 If you want to eject the volume, please use
 Eject in the right-click menu of the volume
                                [ OK ] "

This bug requests an [ Eject ] button to be added to this dialog box so that the
user can avoid doing something that Nautilus suspected you were trying to do anyway.

I personally think this is a very sensible thing to have.

Added the 'usability' and 'screenshot' keywords.
