[Shotwell] unmount error in PTP mode & sd cards

Hi,

when I attach my camera in PTP mode, Shotwell tells me that it needs to 
unmount the camera to access it and asks whether it may do that. When I 
acknowledge, it complains that the camera cannot be unmounted and that I 
should try using the file manager.

The thing is, the camera it not mounted (at least not according to 
"mount") and when I click on its entry in Shotwell again, it imports 
just fine.

fyi, the camera is a Nikon D90 and I've imported from this camera, in 
exactly this setting, just fine. There /was/ a distribution upgrade 
since the last time I did that, so it may have something to do with that 
(I'm running Ubuntu Karmic).

Also, since Shotwell 0.4, importing from SD Card seems to have changed. 
Previously, when I stuck the card in the reader, it would appear as a 
camera in Shotwell. I could then import partially, which is what I 
usually want. Since Shotwell 0.4, it does not appear anymore.

Cheers,
Ingo
