I cannot umount a usb memory stick that was mounted with

I have experienced the same thing using GNOME. I found this to happen
when I used the X to kill the window, rather than exiting the window
using File->Close. Apparently, the signal used by the X widgit is
either not catchable, or is not caught. If it were caught properly,
then an unmount would take place. I didn't try using fuser to try
to resolve this, but rather just did a BHR[1].

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
