GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 148121
can't eject removable media on mac (1 button mouse)

(0) [optional] configure fstab to let any user mount removable media, e.g. external hd (1) mount device by using commandline or "Computer" folder (2) can't unmount device with mouse because no unmount menu entry available; it's only possible to do that via the context menu - which is not available if using a one-button-mouse (common for Apple Laptop Hardware). Of course it's possible to do that by using tools like mouseemu, but that's not very straight forward. Since it's that easy to mount by simply clicking, there should IMHO be a similar simple way to unmount.
You can also use the Shift-F10 keyboard shortcut.
Thanks! That's helping a lot. However i still think putting it in the menu would be useful, especially for use on pen operated tablet PCs, which are maybe even more commonly running GNOME than apple laptops.
I kind of agree with you here. A possible way to do this could be to add the "unmount" option in the File menu of the "Computer" window... You would not be able to unmount directly from the desktop, only by going in "Computer", but it would be good enough I guess.
