I don't think we need to copy Windows everywhere ...

to see a popup, you have to watch the screen - so if you have a 
large cache and slow media, and you just copied tons of data, you 
have to stare at the screen for ten minutes until you see the 
popup to know you're done ... ouch

much better would be just to have an indicator of the status you 
can query "can I remove the media now"? - you can get the same as 
with the popup, just watching the indicator for ten minutes until 
it changes state ... but I prefer to do something useful 
meanwhile ;-)

but I agree that disappeareing of the icon from the GNOME desktop 
or having to open Nautilus to see that the icon is not there is 
not very user friendly
