Konqueror refuses to let go of my Flash disk.

When i try to umount my flash disk after browsing it with Konqueror it always tells me that is is busy. I did a ps aux | grep usb and i get this:

kurt 1995 1.1 9.3 36092 23800 ? S 23:17 0:03 kdeinit: konqueror -mimetype inode/directory file:/usbflash
kurt 2010 0.0 0.1 1548 476 pts/1 S+ 23:23 0:00 grep usbflash

i KNOW that all konqueror windows are closed. This is my dad's computer and he cant be killing the process all the time. Anyone have any suggestions?

Have you tried the -l or -f switch?
For example
umount -l /dev/sda1

see
man mount

force doesnt work besieds, my dad needs to use the "right ckick and hit unmount" feature of a hard disk icon in KDE. What i really dont understand is why konqueror continues to run.....
