Public bug reported:
Sometimes, the trash bin applet is not visible (I first noticed this
when I wanted to undelete something and the trash was 'gone'). If I add
further trash applets to the panel, they are also not visible.
However, I can still open the trash location via Go->Trash in Nautilus.
If I empty the trash then and logout/login, the (empty) trash applet is
visible again, including all the newly added trash applets. If I delete
files and logout/login, the trash is invisible again.
This is a fresh install from Ubuntu 8.04 today (beta + current updates),
but the /home is from a previous (Ubuntu 7.10) installation, so not sure
if some old options might have mangled anything up. I noticed that
files now reside in a .local subdirectory, so I deleted .Trash, but
adding it did not make a difference either. It seems like it's no
longer used.
Potentially, this can be very confusing, as the trash is not easily
visible to the user, and adding new applets seems to have no effect.
