 Other desktop managers that make use of the udev/hald/console kit etc to
 recognize and make visible such devices as the USB drive or SD card have a
 GUI mechanism to unmount the device.  The lack of this capability is
 annoying in sugar on the XO under certain circumstances (such as when the
 SD doesn't cooperate and is hard to physically eject.)  So I think there
 should be an option to do this in the control panel.

 This would be sufficiently out of the way to not attract the attention of
 the kids, and it doesn't seem to have any potential for abuse anyway.  It
 came up for me when I was trying to use the XO itself to prepare an SD
 card to have an alternate bootable system, and couldn't for quite a long
 stretch of fiddling get the SD card out to reboot and kill hald.
