This bug also occurs for me with a new system on which I've installed
Ubuntu 9.04 -many times. The trash can simply does not work. Deleted
files end up in ~/.local/share/Trash/files but not in Trash:/// or in
the Trash applet.

I asked my flatmate (who is also using 9.04) about the problem and
tested it on his machine and the same problem occurs. He hadn't noticed
because he normally uses rm to delete things as a matter of course.

After reading the above, I tried rebooting the machine (either for the
first time or the second). The trash can appears to be working normally.
Phew! I guess it's safe to ship this clunky old PC to my friend's
daughter without having to explain to her why files can't truly be
deleted. (Recalls the xkcd cartoon along the lines of "Parents: Tell
your children about Linux before someone else does.")

That my Ubuntu-geek flatmate hasn't needed to restart his system since
he got 9.04 does say something positive about Ubuntu. The number of
restarts required by the Windows 2000 installer today made me dizzy..
