Thanks Etienne.  Someday I'm going to learn how to use Launchpad PPA!

As for the fix, I'll say this: first, the concept behind the patch is
unquestionably 100% correct.  As you point out, it's fundamentally wrong
to look for .Trash directories in automount points, because they aren't
"real" directories.  It's like trying to look for /proc/.Trash or
/sys/.Trash or something... except worse because this lookup actually
does more than just fail with ENOENT.

Second, I'm 99% sure that the patch does do what I expected it to do,
and that it works properly.  I'm definitely no expert in glib but this
change seems very straightforward.

Third, as I mentioned above I'm confident that this is not the most
elegant way to solve the problem.  However, it may be worthwhile to keep
this as an Ubuntu patch, even if upstream Gnome folks don't want to
apply it there, until they work out and implement the more elegant
solution.
