From: John Lindsay on 4 Aug 2010 19:50 I plugged my wife's sony ereader into my debian (lenny) machine USB socket primarily to charge it up properly. I was very surprised when it came up with the 'do you want to run the program' and actually mounted the volume. I was able to look at the files but didn't do anything else. I did forget to unmount the reader prior to removing it so now I have a phantom icon called reader on my desktop. I cannot delete it.I cannot move it to trash as it says I need to unmount it but catch 22 -- Short of rebooting how can I get rid of the icon?

Can you right-click on the icon and perform any action (unmount/eject/safely remove)? Anythig in dmesg? I would try to force unmounting or "ejecting" the device.
