Why xubuntu support for external storage devices is different than gnome's?

When I plug my 500gb external storage device in ubuntu
and then choose to "remove safely", my device light turns off when
I get the message "safe to remove". With xubuntu, that never
happens. Why is that?

Because xubuntu does not use the same backends as Ubuntu does -
instead of using nautilus and gvfs, it uses thunar and
thunar-volman. The xfce backends only support unmounting of devices
(not powering down), although it there must be some command line way
of doing it. I wouldn't worry about it though - its unlikely to
damage external devices, they are designed with hot-plugging in
mind.
