BTW, the applications menu already has such context menus. So why not 
add these common actions in Places ? Even if it's a power user feature, 
it will make life easier for me and the likes...

It's very annoying to have to open the Computer:// folder to unmount 
your drives, just because you don't show mounted volumes on your desktop 
(I can't because I have too many remote mounts), and the diskmounter 
applet is not convenient (it's not visible when there is no removable 
device plugged in, at least this is the case here).
