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.
