Description Simon Morgan 2005-03-26 12:36:48 UTC 
Version details: 2.10.0-0ubuntu2
Distribution/Version: Ubuntu Hoary

Whenever I delete a file off my secondary hard drive (reiserfs3 formatted), the
trash applet icon remains in the "empty" state. If I right-click and open it,
the files are in there, the icon just doesn't seem to acknowledge it. The "empty
the wastebasket" menu entry is also blanked out.

Sounds like change notification is not working.
Comment 2 Brian C. Huffman 2006-03-22 15:07:51 UTC 
This still happens in the latest 2.14!  Is anyone working on this?  Is there anything I can do to assist in debugging?  I'm using a more standard filesystem (ext3) but as detailed in this bug report, home is a separate filesystem.
Comment 3 Brian C. Huffman 2006-03-29 17:16:39 UTC 
This appears to have something to do with gnome-vfs and its interaction with dbus / hal.  If I kill dbus, Trash works as expected.

This is just bizarre. CCing gnome-vfs devs.
