Description:

I discovered yesterday that gnome trash applet and desktop icon reflect
the status of the .Trash folder of my usb stick /dev/sda that gets
mounted as /media/usbdisk

This is persistant, ie even when the stick is ejected eg right-
click>Eject, with the result that trash appears empty even though
~/.Trash contains discarded items.
