           Summary: Moving items to trash from mounted usb-key doesn't work
                    as expected
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: amd64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: nautilus

I mounted my usb-key and was browsing it.  I found some files on it, which I
didn't want anymore.  So I right click on them and say: "Move to trash".   My
trash icon now displays that it has something in it. I'm done with my usbkey, so
I unmount it.

I then remember that I moved some stuff into the trashcan from the usb-key, so I
go to empty it.  Surprise!  Nothing is in my trash can?!?  How can this be?  I
just moved it there. 

Thankfully I have some understanding of how the trash can works, so I put my
usb-key in it and mount it again.  Whaddya know?  The items are now in the trash. 

This is completely counterintuitive.  If I "Move the items" to the trash can,
shouldn't they _stay_ there?   I can see a new user being utterly confused, and
somewhat scared when items that she puts in the trash are no longer there, and
then subsequently at a later date, they re-appear in the trash?
