I've noticed that too, and it's very annoying.
Gamin is too aggressive and now I have to do something like:
    pkill -9 gam_server && umount /$MOUNT_POINT
every time I want to umount any kind of device.
And, for example, the eject feature isn't working anymore.

I really hope that it's something that could be fixed (or that I'm missin=
g something).

In the meanwhile, as soon as I have enough time, I'll test this:
http://www.gnome.org/~veillard/gamin/config.html

But, again, I think that it will be a pita having to do this for every ne=
w istallation, just like creating the xml configuration for the keyboard =
layout now that xorg depends on hal.
