There's also a Trashcan shortcut. When right clicking on the trashcan there's no "empty trash" entry to empty the trashcan. It has the same options as the other shortcuts. If I want to empty trash from the file manager I have to enter the trash folder and delete it's content. That has not been the case in earlier Ubuntu releases.
