Ubuntu 18.04 GUI File Manager Weirdness

[Ralf Mardorf]

If you list Desktop/, is Trash a link against .local/share/Trash/? I
suspect that it isn't, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GVfs.

gvfsd-computer 	provides computer:// 
gvfsd-trash 	provides trash://

Note, on my Linux installs gvfs is not installed. I installed empty
dummy packages, that fulfil the package dependency.

I don't know if your issue is caused by gvfs, but this issue does fit
this mould.
