            Bug ID: 502609
           Summary: When switching users, the usb drive stays associated
                    with the other user, needing admin rights to acces the
                    drive or to eject it
    Classification: I don't know
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Arch Linux
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general

SUMMARY

after mounting a usb drive on user_a, the usb_drive remains in
'/run/media/user_a/usb_drive' after logging out.
this happens both ways between user_a and user_b, even when one user is admin

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. have two user accounts
2. plug in a usb drive
3. mount it on user_a in dolphin
4. unmount it
5. log out
6. log in to user_b
7. try mounting the usb drive in dolphin

OBSERVED RESULT

dolphin requires admin priviliges to acces the usb stick

EXPECTED RESULT

properly remove the usb drive when logging out, so that user_b gets prompted to
mount it to their directory at '/run/media/user_b/usb_drive'
