Yes, that's even nicer, you're right.
I've tried to get this working, but:

1) in IvmConfigActions.xml, hal.volume.mount_point isn't available,
seems like the root ivman hasn't mounted it yet or something...

2) in IvmConfigProperties.xml, hal.volume.mount_point is reset to ""
BEFORE hal.volume.is_mounted gets changed to "false", so the action here
can not remove the device from the panel becouse we don't know the
mountpoint used to put it there... =/
Very annoying...

Anyone got a clue on how to make any of these methods work?

...

Regarding the unmounting, I made this eject script which i Put in ~/bin:

#!/bin/sh
pumount "$1" 2>/dev/null || fusermount -u "$1" 2>/dev/null ||
echo "Could not unmount with pumount or fusermount -u" >&2

It works very well! I can now use the "Eject" menu entry to unmount
everything, both pmounts, usual mounts (/etc/fstab) and FUSE mounts.
