[Bug 33998] Trash can should provide easily reached button to empty trash

[Lakin Wecker]

Public bug reported:
https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/33998

Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
Currently, when you open the trash can to review what's in it before
deleting the items, there is no easy way to empty the trash:

1) select all files and use the context menu to delete them,
2) select all the files and use the delete key on the keyboard.
3) use the file->empty trash menu item.

Proposal:
provide a nautilus_location_widget_provider which has a button availble to empty the trash.  This is similar to the currently implemented "Write to CD" from nautilus-burn.


Here is a proposed patch which solves the problem:

Note: the patch needs some cleaning up as discussed on the nautilus-
mailing list, but because the patch was too late for the gnome-ui freeze
it's been put on my back burner.

However, if this patch has a possibility of inclusion into dapper, I'd
be willing to make some time to spend on it.
