[Bug 34247] Re: Trash always empty.

[peter]

I had this exact same problem, filed it here: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gnome-applets/+bug/35834
and it went away on March 27.

In case it's of any help:
I used both nautilus trash and the panel trash icon: they would show consistent (but erroneous) in formation.
I mostly deleted stuff with the delete key but right-click>move to trash and drag&drop to trash gave the same results.
I use ext3 fs

Trash always empty.
