I usually use KDE and I see that by unmounting a USB device from its
icon on the desktop, the icon seems to stay as long as the USB stick's
activity LED keeps blinking. For large files (images), I have noticed
that the icon stays on the desktop for quite a few seconds. Never had
corruption on the USB stick. So it appears KDE removes the icon of a
USB device only when the sync is complete. I am surprised Gnome
doesn't do so.
I am surprised too :-)
BTW, I let udev mount the pluggable devices automatically.
I doubt udev is the party that mounts it. udev creates the device in
/dev, I don't think it can mount things.
AFAIU on GNOME this is what happens when a storage device is plugged in:
1. udev creates a device node in /dev
2. hal is informed about the new device
3. gnome-volume-manager gets informed by hal and calls pmount to mount
the device
