Public bug reported:

I went to Trash (Trash:///), clicked empty. I had at least around 5GBs
in there. I confirmed delete, and the operation dialog came up, and said
"Preparing". It stayed like this for over a minute. My system slowed to
a near freeze. I was able to click Cancel. It took about another minute
to respond to the click, but eventually canceled. Everything in the
trash was gone. I closed it, and opened it back up. Trash:/// is now so
slow it's unusable (almost appears frozen), difficult to close, doesn't
allow me to open any other nautilus windows, and it won't show deleted
files.

I looked in /home/myname/.local/share/Trash/files, and there was nothing
there. I looked in /home/myname/.local/share/Trash/info, and there was a
firefox.desktop.trashinfo file. I deleted that, but it didn't help.  If
I now delete something, it does show up in both of these folders - but
not in Trash:///. When I go into either of those folders, my mouse
pointer turns into the pointing finger symbol - not sure if this is
relevant. Under Trash:///, the Empty button highlights, but files do not
show.

If I start nautilus (Trash:///) through the terminal, I get:

(nautilus:6054): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_utf8_collate: assertion `str1 !=
NULL' failed

This repeats indefinitely as the Trash:/// window instantly slows to a
near freeze.

I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 32Bit. Fully updated (Security and Recommended) up
to this point. Please let me know if these is anything more I can try,
or anything more I can add that may help. Thanks very much for the time
and help.
