You have been subscribed to a public bug: I have deleted some files. So there are items in the trash. Nautilus' trash view displays these items. However File->"Empty Deleted Items" is greyed out, also the highlighted coloured bar in the window has a greyed out "Empty Deleted Items" button. These options should not be greyed out and should be available as there are items in the trash. See attached screen dump .
The trash applet has the "Empty the Deleted Items folder" available and the correct icons. I do not know how I have got to this state, but I have only placed items in the trash by deleting them through Nautilus. Every time I open the Nautilus' trash view, the options are greyed out. Now I will empty the trash using the applet. The items are now permanently deleted. Nautilus is now correctly greying out the options. I now create a file and delete It. If I know open the trash view in Nautilus then the options are greyed out when they should not be. This is currently reproducible for me.
