does not work. That is, using that option will unmount  the
  device but does not remove the icon from the
desktop. 
 Likely a udev/eject problem; it works here but your previous
 comments indicate that your udev subsystem may not be working as well
 for some reason.

  * Eject does not work with CDs/DVDs. 
 See above comment.; not likely to be a TDE problem. 
 I tested this under Xfce 4.10 and KDE 4.8.5 in Slackware 14. With both
 desktops eject works for optical disks and the icons disappear with the
 equivalent of Safely Remove. I don't think the problem is udev/eject
 problem. Also nobody is reporting eject problems with Slackware 14. 
 Those two systems probably use a different method to request an eject
 operation.  Does 'eject' work from the command line at all on your system?

More information: TDE handles a HAL eject and a TDEHWLib eject the exact
same way, via a call to kdeeject, which then calls eject.  As eject used
to rely on HAL, I would not be a bit surprised if the 'eject' binary is
broken on Slackware 14 (the ioctl errors would support this hypothesis).
