Description armado@hellug.gr 2005-03-17 23:52:22 UTC 
When a user right click in the trash icon in the desktop, appeared disabled the
options Delete and Move To Trash, these two options should not be there at all.
The user see two more options that will never be able to use for the trash icon,
because this is a special directory, the Trash directory. We can not delete it,
and we can not move it to itself.

I believe that the above two options must be removed complete from the right
click menu of the trash icon, for a more clean and not confusing menu.

Yeah! I agree. Its waste of menu space on those menu items which as always
insensitive.
Comment 2 Christian Kirbach 2005-03-18 19:29:37 UTC 
Agreed. The menus are cluttered.

Bumping version to 2.10
Changing component to Desktop

In 2.10 there are 6 menu items greyed out and 5 options selectable.

BTW this similarly applies to the "Computer" and "Home Folder" icons as well.
