A little background: Honestly until 2 days ago it had been 6 years since
I have used Linux, but I got SO SICK of Vista which came on my machine.

This is the first bug so far that I have come in contact with while using 
Ububtu 8.0.4, which by the way is the best Linux release I have ever seen. Used 
to be a Redhat user. I am using Ubuntu on a Gateway MT6705 (~1 year old laptop) 
and it detected all hardware from the start.
But yeah, it took me a minute but I found the trash folder. The trash folder 
has moved so many times. At one time it was in /usr, its been in /root i think, 
and now its hidden in the logged-in user's folder. 

Just open the Terminal and type: rm -rf 
/home/(username)/.local/share/Trash/files/
I found some files related to the problem in: .../Trash/info/ also, so I 
performed "rm -rf" on that folder also.

It deletes the folders but the system creates them again as soon as you
open the Trashcan. If nothing else, this can be considered a workaround
until a patch comes out.

Perhaps others can benefit from this information.
