How to umount USB disk in GNOME

Ever since I loaded suse 9.3, whenenver I added a usb disk either a
harddrive or a memory media, the system would come up and automtically
mount the drives on the desktop. This is an okay but I am having a
problem to umount the drive.
When I click on the icon and request aan umount, I get the following message:
"umount: only root can unmount /dev/sdc1 from /media/usbdisk".
The only way I can umount the drive is to go to the root and umount the drive /dev/sdc1. I got rid of the fstab error by adding /media/usbdisk to the fstab. I also set it so users can mount or umount the drive.
In KDE, the user can mount and umount the drive with no problem. GNOME should have a similiar property. Is there a configuration or something that wil allow me to umount the drive?
