In Ubuntu Hardy Heron AMD64, the trash bin icon shows that the trash bin is 
empty, although the trash bin is full.
Also the trash cannot be emptied.

There is a workaround: open the Gnome terminal, go to 
"/home/<username>/.local/share/Trash/files".
Type: "sudo rm -Rf *" and press ENTER. This will delete ALL files AND folders 
AT ONCE.

Then go to "/home/<username>/.local/share/Trash/info" and just delete
the files in there. This does not require any special action.

** Affects: gnome-applets (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Confirmed
