Hi.
There are multiple problems in nautilus' trash handling, as you
reported.
1) The gnome-vfs library does not properly handle the case where the
directory of interest is the home directory, and is also a symlink to
a different device; this causes the error in trying to move a file to
the trash from the top-level home directory.
2) At initialization, nautilus does not recognize the user's .Trash
directory as qualifying for its logical (multi-volume) trash folder,
since the AFS file system is not configured as supporting trash
directories. This causes it to regard the trash folder as empty,
even though the ~/.Trash directory is not empty.
Both of these problems will be fixed in an upcoming patch release.
Thanks for reporting these bugs.
Bob
