It's an Ubuntu patch to nautilus introduced in dapper : 
 * debian/patches/08_unmount_progress_dialog.patch:
   - Remove ugly line break from label and avoid excess padding.
   - Only show the progress dialog for read-write volumes and only for
     certain classes of drives where it makes sense (not for CD-ROMs, for
     example). (Malone #34274)
