Some USB sticks have a light to indicate when they are powered. In 12.04, when "Safely Remove" was selected the light on the stick (and USB hub if plugged into a hub) go off. This is the expected behaviour.

There is no longer a "Safely Remove" option in 12.10. If I select "Eject", neither the light on the stick or hub go off. This doesn't give a good indication to the user that the drive can safely be removed.

I also have a problem that a Lexar 64MB Jumpdrive (05dc:0080) will re-appear on the launcher after I eject it.
