Hi Gilles,

oh, no, really bad guess (and how lazy) of mine :( I never scoll down,
usually just download all. And yes, usbdisk of Sony DSC-W12 camera.

Nevertheless, something of digikam keeps those files as lsof
output shows.  What it is no idea.

When I start the camera -> usbdisd (that does automounting now too)
I get the download dialog.  After image thumbs are loaded,
I close the dialog without downloading anything.
Now:
	pumount /media/usbdisk
and
	'Savely remove' in konqueror media:/

fails and lsof gives output above.

When I exit digikam, both methods to umount the camera work
immediately again.
