Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-applets

Edgy
kernel 2.6.17-10-generic auto-updated to 17-11-generic

After reboot, i've seen my trash icon looking as if trash is not empty.
When openning i saw with surprise all my root file-tree, I mean all the files and folders that were in / ...

Try to empty : nothing happened
Try to go deeper in directory and come back : nautilus looking as if i'm not in trash, but really in / ...
Try to copy 1 folder from trash (home) to Desktop (outside nautilus window of sure): impossible to copy a folder on itself...

Everything looks like my / was mount in the trash...

I've found a way to solve the problem, but was'nt able to reproduce the bug :
I've rename ".gnome/gnome-vfs/.trash_entry_cache" and restarted my session so gnome create another .trash_entry_cache.

Just under you will find content of those files, hope that could help.
Sorry for my bad english, if something is wrong with my bug report please contact me by mail.
