umount usb disk from command line after automount

How do I, as a normal user, umount my usb disk from the command line, after it had been automatically mounted?

I can do it as root, I can do it with gnome, but the "umount" command complains about a missing entry in fstab. I can solve the problem by editing fstab, but that's not very convenient, since I'm able to use more than one usb stick at a time.
Is it HAL, udev, or gnome (gconf) that I have to configure? Or is uhelper useful for me?
I can't find enough information to find out what the most simple solution is; each possibility requires a huge amount of reading and searching.

I can create entries in /etc/fstab for each usb port and filesystem type, but I find that kind of ugly.
I'm sure somebody has already solved this, please answer!

OK, found it hidden in another post (HOWTO: Fixed mount points for FC5 removable media), it's gnome-mount:

/usr/bin/gnome-mount -n -u -p disk

thanks for keeping this source of information!
