[Bug 269441] Re: Trash always full

[Sai Vinoba]

This issue is a combination of Caja and trash applet from what I see,
not necessarily only issue with trash applet. On MATE (Caja) in other
distros like Debian, even LinuxMint, we get a dialog to empty trash from
external drive to save space on that drive. If we agree trash is emptied
and trash icon reflects status correctly. If we eject without emptying
trash, the trash-icon stays full. However, on Ubuntu MATE there is no
pop-up dialog unlike in other distros when there is deleted content; it
just ejects the medium. UM is deviating from default behavior.
