Sorry, I did not see your previous message.
If ejectable devices as CD or DVD can be distinguished of only removable
devices as USB stick, I suggest for USB stick to display unmount or
detach instead of eject. Detach is a word more comprehensive for users.
But I think also that it is not a good thing to mimic MS Windows
vocabulary : unmount has a sense.

For CD or DVD, I think that there is no bug.

Now, I do not know how distinguish CD with DVD in Gnome code.

An other alternative that I find nice, keep only unmount and safe
removal, remove the eject item. Do the eject action with the safe
removal for CD and DVD (and USB storage). This last alternative is
simpler.
