I have no idea why they do not get deleted while everything else around
it gets deleted.  There is no error message displayed (no pop ups
anyway).  A user applet should not be able to syslog, so I didn't check
/var/log for anything.  Since I can delete them from the terminal from
my user account (no need to sudo), it's not a permission problem.

It may be due to the fact that I use /.Trash-1000/ for my trash
directory.  I have a couple of different partitions I use, and I believe
I needed to do this to be able to have the trash can work for non-home
partitions.

So for a test, I created _underline_file_from_Desktop.txt on my Desktop
(home partition), _underline_file.txt and deleteme.txt in a non-home
partition.  Deleting them all in Nautilus will display all three in
Trash.  Clicking Empty Trash button, two files are erased; however,
_underline_file.txt remains in the Trash.  No errors occur.


I suspect it has something to do with the leading "_" in the file name to be 
emptied.


[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/.Trash-1000$ ls -R
.:
files/  info/

./files:
deleteme.txt  _underline_file.txt

./info:
deleteme.txt.trashinfo  _underline_file.txt.trashinfo

[You will note that _underline_file_from_Desktop.txt is not here, I believe it 
is in ~/.local/share/Trash, but I did not specifically check since it is 
working.
[Empty Trash] button is clicked at this point.
