I expect you patch is better, let me see if I can find the one I was
thinking of ...

The request against nautilus largely responsible for this whole discussion:
Trash should just Eject appropriate mounts instead of giving advice on how to do the umount
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=115763

one of the duplicate reports included a patch which was rejected
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154283
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=32154&action=view

there was another report which pointed out how the current setup is
particularly awkward for users with single button mice
