Bug#430896: general: GNOME or KDE desktops should issue a warning when the user unplugs USB media without unmounting.
I think KDE should issue a warning too.

FWIW recent GNOME desktops in unstable using gnome-mount for doing the mounting
stuff, already have this kind of functionality. Whenever you unmount a removable
device, gnome-mount will show you a message via notification-daemon, when it is
safe to unplug the device. I'm not sure if XFCE in Debian already uses
gnome-mount, though.
Cheers,
