I see this too, i.e., logout, login, then trash can is very likely invisible. The applet is running (e.g., ps says it's running), in fact right-clicking at a thin region where you expect it, its right-click menu still shows up. So it's as though it has a very thin width.
I upgraded from 7.10, and then applied all updates for hardy as of April 8 01:20am EDT. Observable in LiveCD too. I find a high correlation to user's bonobo-activation-server not dying after logout. Manually kill it after gnome logout (e.g., go to text console to login and look for it and kill it), and next gnome login the trash can is visible again. -- Trash applet is invisible https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/207761 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
