I don't recall getting a notification when I unplugged a USB drive,
but I cannot test it now since I am not using XFCE anymore.
Do you by any chance have gvfs and thunar-volman installed? Afaik,
those are required. I do recall that Thunar needs to be running as a
daemon mode to handle automatic mounting. You also need a notification
daemon installed, but from your e-mail I guess you already have it
installed.

I'm running three copies of Arch with XFCE as DE. Recently I've noticed that the normal desktop notification when a removable storage device is unmount has gone. As a test, I turned on auto-mount. When a USB drive is plugged in, I'm still getting mount notifications, but nothing when the device is unmounted. The only indication I see that the device has unmounted is a change to the desktop icon.
One of my Arch installs isn't used all that often, so hasn't been updated recently. Its still showing both mount and unmount notifications.
Trouble is, I can go for fairly long periods without using removable media, so I've no real idea what update caused the change. No idea how to hunt for it either.
Anyone else seeing this behaviour? Any ideas how to fix it?
Paul.
