Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

By default, in Gnome the trash is in ~/.Trash and in KDE it is in
~/.local/share/Trash and the have different structures: Gnome just moves
the files and KDE keeps also info of the files.

I don't know if this is a directive of Freedesktop.org, but it would be
useful that all the desktops shared the same trash. The bug #75435 talks
about the problem with Digikam, but it always happens deleting anything
from a Gnome application in KDE or vice versa, so it is a more general
problem.

At the moment, it seems that making a symbolic link can solve the
problem, but that's not a good solution, because the info files
generated by KDE are not removed if we empty the trash from Gnome.

** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Unconfirmed
