Unmounted icon lingering on Desktop

This seems to be new to Yosemite, but can't rule out it may have happened
before.

After a request to unmount, my vfs_unmount() handler is called, and
everything goes well, and it is indeed unmounted.

Desktop icon is greyed out, but remains visible. It stays on Desktop
forever, you can do GetInfo on it etc (although all nulls). If you
double-click it to open it, the icon is finally removed.

I have not seen anything special in hfs_unmount, nfs_vfs_unmount or msdos
unmount to indicate a missing step. From BSD land (df, mount, diskutil
list) everything is gone as expected.

The UNMOUNT event is issued by the VFS layer as expected, so it is
interesting that the Icon lingers in the Desktop. Do we know what triggers
the greying-out, and later, the removal of the icon?

Sincerely,

Lund
