I'm using Ubuntu Feisty (7.04).
A few days ago, I installed Drupal (which is a CMS) for testing
purposes. After my tests, I sent the folder to the trash. When emptying
the trash today and seeing that it didn't delete all the files, I opened
it and selected "empty trash" from Nautilus but it wouldn't work because
some files couldn't be removed (that's where I discovered that I got a
ignore/abort message when emptying trash with Nautilus and not with the
applet menu).
After looking in the remaining files, I saw that a drupal subfolder
("css") had a locked emblem on its icon and, thinking it was just a
permissions issue, discovered that its owner was in fact "nobody". I
deleted it as root from a terminal.
I don't really know how you can reproduce this problem, but it seems
that you can send a file that's not yours in the trash, provided that
it's inside a directory that's yours.
