You've got to press all 3 at the same time
The logical answer (bearing in mind I am in no way shape or form a Linux expert!) would be Safely Remove Drive, although I agree it could be a lot clearer! Hopefully that will be sorted for the full release, although I doubt it at this late stage...
Bring on Lucid Lynx!
If you eject it fires the drive out at high speed...
Image that..ejector seat for a USB drive..

Could be some fun times to have.

As a post in that link says, eject is only really applicable to CD/DVD drives.

I've not read that link from Peter, but my first reaction was "they are all the same" However, thinking about it I suspect it is something like this:
eject: for optical drives and physically ejects the disk
unmount: for cards in card readers. removed the volume, but leaves the reader connected and the USB drivers attached
Safely Remove: unmounts the volume and then unloads the USB drivers. What you want for USB drives.
Although it should know what kind of device it is and only give you the appropriate option in my opinion.
Option 4 - pull it out!

That never works. Catholics have been barking up that tree for years

But in this case you should wait for the transfer to finish before pulling it out

Safely Remove is probably only there for those more familiar with windoze. Personally if the activity light is off I just extract it...

Not a bug, according to GNOME devs ¬_¬
Of course o_O
Still, I guess it's only as stupid as start > shut down, or maybe the power menu in Vista.
