Public bug reported:
What ends up happening:
- You have a "full" trash icon
- You can see zero files in the trash
- Emptying the trash has no effect, whether from GUI, from gvfs-trash --empty,
or gio trash --empty.
- Terminal shows "files", "expunged", and "info" folders all completely empty

This still is a problem, even on Ubuntu 17.10 under some (unknown)
conditions. Mine used to work with my current mouse, but I went to
adjust it today, and it's not there. I have no touchpad, only a mouse;
it's a desktop machine.
Sometimes I can plug in a mouse that will make the slider show, but
I have found a suitable work-around for my needs; I was one of the many
frustrated by this change, and yet another reason I feel that Ubuntu's
overall progress is decreasing.
I take no credit for figuring this out, but the post that helped me is here:
