Trash Applet Show Always Empty
Last modified: 2010-01-24 01:06:02 UTC
Please describe the problem: Deleted files (in ~/.Trash) do not cause the trash applet to display as "full". Trash applet always displays as "empty" unless USB jump drive is mounted and there is trash in it's .Trash-$USER folder. Then trash applet shows full. Selecting "Open" from the trash applet's menu ALWAYS opens (or tries to open if unmounted) the USB jump drive's trash folder. It NEVER opens ~/.Trash. You cannot delete items from ~/.Trash from the trash applet. Steps to reproduce: 1. Delete file in Nautilus 2. Nautilus moves deleted file to ~/.Trash 3. Trash applet still shows empty. Actual results: Expected results: I would expect the trash applet to show "full" and I would expect to be able to empty my trash. Does this happen every time? Yes. For months. Quite annoying!!! Other information: If you kill DBUS, trash applet works as expected, but too many other things stop working to make this a valid "work around".
