When I insert an USB device, my SuSE 9.3 recognized the device and
generates an device icon on the desktop. By clicking on the device, it
opens the content in the konqueror. Fine! :-)
It shows a special symbol that it's mounted into the filesystem.

but: is it possible, that I can unmount the device with the current user
(mount is only allowed by root), by right-clicking on the symbol and
select an menu entry "unmount/eject device"?
I don't want to log in as root an umount the device manually.

It's not secure to eject an USB device without unmounting!

Thanks for your help in advance,
Phil
