And is that bad? How that intereferes with your goals? :-?

In fact, that is what I get. If I connect an USB flash drive, it gets 
listed under "/dev/disk/by-id" and when I umount it with nautilus, it 
still being showed there unless I *physically* remove/detach the flash 
drive from USB port.

What reminds me that on newer GNOME releases there are 2 options to 
handle this:

1/ "Eject" (that umounts and powers off the device without the needings 
of manually remove the drive).

2/ "Unmount" (that just umounts the volume).

So, maybe you need an "eject" action for "udev" can remove the 
symlinks :-?
