Having the same problem on a fresh Dapper Flight install (AMD64).

Applet is always empty, even after deleting items. NOTE: Delete command that 
bypasses wastebasket is NOT enabled here.

If I use Nautilus to go to ~/.Trash, the items previously deleted are there, 
though the trash applet does not indicate anything is in the trash.  If I 
double-click on the applet, a Nautilus window with "Wastebasket" in the 
location bar appears; it's usually empty (see below).

If I plug in my USB jump drive, it is auto mounted. If I delete something on 
it, a hidden folder is created called .Trash-david (david is my username) and 
the deleted items go there.

My trash applet still shows empty, but if I double-click on it, then a Nautilus 
window opens showing me the .Trash-david folder contents.

Why my USB jump drive even needs a trash folder is beyond me.

So how do I get my Trash applet to "point" back to my ~/.Trash folder and to 
display trash correctly? Is there a config file somewhere that does this?

David
