I want do add a special unmount dialog to KDE. When any program accesses a 
file on the mounted device, I cannot unmount it. It's sometimes hard to find 
that process without help, and so, I want to add a dialog that shows a list 
of processes that access it in case of failure.
I alredy have a simple dialog that shows a list of processes that access a 
specific directory, but I don't know how to add this to KDE because it is 
Linux-specific and probably doesn't work on other systems without 
modification. The other problem is that kdelibs/kio/file/file.cc just 
executes the umount program and in the case of error adds the output text to 
an error message box. I need to know the reason for the error (device busy) 
and the path of the mount point to add my dialog (and I don't want to grep it 
out of the mount program's error message). This dialog would probably be a 
special case in Job::showErrorDialog in kdelibs/kio/job.cpp.
The "error framework" is quite limited and my dialog doesn't really fit in 
well, so could someone help me get this in without making the code uglier?
