Nautilus can't properly unmount FUSE filesystems

Description
Normal users can create and mount fuser-filesystems, such as encfs and sshfs. By executing e.g. the command "encfs ~/somedir ~/some-other-dir", such filesystems correctly show up on the desktop as mounted filesystems.
However, if you right-click and select "unmount" you get a error-message saying you cannot unmount the filesystem, because it does not appear in fstab, and you are not root.
This is factually incorrect -- you can unmount the filesystem, assuming you're the user who mounted it in the first place, by using the command "fusermount -u directoryname"
Nautilus should be able to properly unmount FUSE file systems.
