** Description changed:
- Run Nautilus/Nemo with gksudo.
- create a file/folder in /root.
- Right-Click and choose "Move to Trash"
--> the file disappears as expected.
- some days later ...
- Run Nautilus/Nemo with gksudo.
- Click on Trash
--> error message: Content of »trash:///«
right, the point is that graphical applications are not meant to be used
as superuser, it's insecure and leads to integration issue. There is
ongoing work to teach nautilus to use proper mechanisms to do actions
that require extra privilege which is a better way
** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu)
I didn't use nautilus under sudo, I used gksudo, which is recommend in
many forums and wikis e.g.:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo#Graphical_sudo

You received this bug notification because
I now have found out, that the root trash is working as expected, if
nemo/nautilus is started with "gksudo dbus-launch".
So if not started with dbus-launch, the error message after clicking "Trash"
should be changed to a hint, that the application should be started with
"gksudo dbus-launch".
