Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-panel
I don't know what has happened here in Hardy (or to my computer) but all
of sudden, my Trash applet in gnome-panel has disappeared.
I've ran:
$ killall gnome-panel
and tried to re-add "Trash" from "Add to Panel..." and even rebooted.
I'm not complaining about that bug (I will file a separate report for
that). What I am stating here is that there needs to be a secondary
method to find the user's trash bin. In GNOME 2.22, the Trash is no
longer found at ~/.Trash, but (by default) ~/.local/share/Trash (which
is harder to find for a regular desktop user (if they even know how to
view hidden files)) and I'm sure most don't know about 'trash:///' in
Nautilus.
Thus I'm proposing to have the Trash bin in "Places > Trash" as a
fallback (In case something happens to the Trash applet) and a usable
shortcut (highly usable and visible in the main menu).
What's the current procedure for a regular user if they accidentally
removed their Trash icon/applet or a bug has occurred and it has
disappeared?
