Looking for X program to easily list and unmount USB sticks?

Hi,

I use fluxbox and I have ivman running so that when I plug in a USB stick, it automatically gets mounted to /media. I'm looking for a program to list the USB sticks that are currently mounted and that will let me unmount those sticks by clicking on them. I know gnome and KDE have features like these built in but I'm looking for something a little lighter in terms of dependencies. It seems like it wouldn't take much to write some kind of tcl script to do this but does something like this already exist?

It would be really easy to bind pumount commands to keys, but I'd like to have some kind of feedback as to whether the umount was successful. Thanks

You could try pmount or ivman.

You should check out kde media manager and konqueror if they aren't too dependency heavy for you.
