[Bug 35834] gnome Trash reflects status of .Trash on usb stick

Comment:
I bet everyone says this about their pet bug, but I think this is major.

Why do the desktop icon and trash applets reflect the status of a folder
that is different from where deleted files are put ?  Why do the icon
and applet choose to tell me about a volume that is not present ?

This is persistant behaviour: ejecting the usb stick does not change it
back, rebooting does not change it back, this issue even survived the
upgrade to Gnome 2.14.

The icon and applet should not reflect the status of a different folder
from ~/.Trash

best regards
