[Bug 44216] Trash applet don't list items trashed on mounted removable devices

[Luca Ferretti]

Public bug reported:

In GNOME your "current" trash contents is collected by the contents of
~/.Trash hidden directory and the contents on all .Trash hidden
directories on toplel directory of mounted removable devices (for
example /media/usbdisk/.Trash/)

It seems that trash applet lists in its tooltip only items from ~/.Trash
directory

** How to reproduce **

Lets me assume you have one item in your trash from ~/.Trash. Moving
your mouse over trashapplet the tooltip says "1 item in trash".

Now mount your usb stick, and move to trash a file from here. If you
open the Trash you should see 2 items in it. But if you move your mouse
over the trashapplet, the tooltip says "1 item in trash".

Now, move a file from your home directory to trash. There are now 3
items in your Trash window, but the trashapplet tooltip says "2 items in
trash".

** Notes **

I suspect trashapplet checks files only in hardcoded ~/.Trash directory
instread trash:// URI.

Also I suspect it could be an upstream issue, but  'cause by now I don't
have any upstream build of gnome-applets but only the one from Ubuntu,
I'm opening this bug here. If so, please move the bug to
bugzilla.gnome.org (or ask me to do it).

Cheers, Luca.

** Affects: gnome-applets (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed
