good idea. the strings you committed:

"Device is plugged in and the volume can be accessed by applications. It is 
not safe to remove this device."

"Device is plugged in and the volume is not mounted for access yet. The device 
can be safely removed."

"Device is plugged in and the volume is not mounted for access yet. Another 
volume is accessible on the same device, which cannot be safely removed."

i think we can assume in all cases that the device is plugged in. if it 
wasn't, we wouldn't be showing it :) so let's just remove that part.

i think we should also start with the important bit: if it is safe to remove 
it or not. and let's try to drop some of the jargon, such as what "mounted" 
is.

so .. maybe sth like:

"It is <b>safe to remove</b> this device."

"It is <b>not safe</b> to remove this device: applications may be accessing 
it. Click the eject button <img src=\"devicenotifier://eject.png\" /> to 
safely remove this device."

"It is currently <b>not safe</b> to remove this device: applications may be 
accessing other volumes on this device. Click the eject button <img 
src=\"devicenotifier://eject.png\" /> on these other volumes to safely remove 
this device."

the eject image can be added to the tooltipcontent with:

addResource(Plasma::ToolTipContent::ImageResource, 
"devicenotifier://eject.png", ejectPixmap);

thoughts?
