Widget showing that there are no removable devices attached while they are
still attached.

SUMMARY
Wrong / misleading "No removable devices attached"


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Insert a USB pen drive in one of the USB ports of the computer, preferably
one with multiple partitions on it
2. Mount and open a partition
3. Click on the "Safely Remove" icon in Dolphin

OBSERVED RESULT
1. The partition is unmounted and widget from system tray pops up with the
following message:
No removable devices attached
The physical USB drive is still plugged in, so this message is wrong.
2. Even though the USB drive is still plugged in, the partition cannot be
mounted again as it disappeared completely from Dolphin.
3. If the USB drive has multiple partitions on it, the misleading popup and
message will appear only after the last one is unmounted too, so it's correct
that the drive can then be safely removed, but the message is still wrong as it
has not been detached yet, but it's "Safe to be removed".
4. As long as the last partition on the USB drive  has not be unmounted, the
others can still be mounted



EXPECTED RESULT
1. The message should say "The drive is now safe to be removed", not that no
removable devices are still attached.
2. As long as the drive has not been physically removed yet, then allow to
mount the partitions again, even when there's only one partition available on
the entire drive.
Maybe we changed our mind about unplugging it from the computer or maybe we
forgot to put some other data on it.
It doesn't make much sense to have to physically unplug it and then plug it
back in to be able to mount the partition that we just unmounted
3. Display the  right message about the  the drive being safe to be removed
when the last partition have been unmounted too.
4. Allow to mount and open partitions back after they have been "Safely
removed", even when the drive has only one partition.
