Public bug reported:

Hi!!

I've been having this problem from a long time now.  I'm using jaunty with 
gnome desktop manager.
The problem is that when i delete anything from "/" partition, it does not show 
up in trash:///.
I have a directory /opt which is owned by my userid.  I can create and delete 
files fine in this directory.
When i delete a file from nautilus in /opt it shows that it has done so, but 
when i double click trash icon,
it shows trash as empty.  I can verify that the files are moved to /.Trash/1000 
(where 1000 is my userid).
the /.Trash directory is chmod 1777. 

This is the only time trash does not show files. Deleting from mountable media, 
home directory etc. works
fine.  I've tried searching online and in this forum, but haven't come across 
any solution so far.

Running gvfs-monitor-dir  trash: or gvfs-monitor-dir / does not show anything 
while i'm deleting files from
/opt.

Running gvfs-ls trash:, gvfs-ls Trash:, gvfs-ls trash:/// also does not
result in any output.

Any help would be really appreciated.  The only way to avoid this issue is to 
remove /.Trash directory which
results in nautilus giving a warning that it can't move files to trash and will 
delete the file permanently.

thanks
