No. Never. About anything ;-)

As to window managers, I've left my beloved fluxbox 
and twm, for ion2

It gets rid of floating windows, and reduces mouse use
to bare essentials, without stopping you doing anything.
It's also incredibly configurable, yet sensibly
configured out of the box. 

Follow the guided tour above, or apt-get install and
read the (useful) man page. 


Anyway, as to the unmounting, what does /etc/mtab say
at various stages (after closing konq, after manually
unmounting)? What about the eject command, does that
work?
