Bug#440327: gnome: when the environment can't umount a volume, it should show what locks the volume

Package: gnome
Severity: normal

When a user try to umount a volume that is being used, the environment
shows a message showing it can't, but not why. The solution then is goes to the
terminal, do a "lsof | grep volume" or similar and kill the process.
If the environment can't umount the volume, it should shows a message
showing what is blocking it. Even, if possible, asking user whether
killing the process just before umount the volume.

This is a little problem for advanced users, but a great problem for
non-terminal users.

I dont know what package is responsible of that, please forward this to
the appropriate package.
