Description of problem: The trashapplet icon on the GNOME panel does not automatically update when items are added or removed to/from the Trash folder. You have to manually double click on the trashapplet and open up the Trash folder in order for the icon to update with the actual status of the Trash folder. When the Trash is empty and you delete an item, the item will disappear, but the trashapplet still indicates that the Trash is empty. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-applets-2.22.1-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select a file on the Desktop 2. Hit the Delete key Actual results: The file disappears from the Desktop, but the icon on the trashapplet still indicates that the Trash is empty. Similarly, if you drag an item from the Trash back to the desktop, the trashapplet icon still indicates the presence of items. Expected results: The trashapplet icon should update to indicate that items exist in the trash. Additional info:
Do you have anything suspicious in ~/.xsession-errors ?
I went to check this again this morning and now I am seeing the proper behavior. Perhaps there was an update that required a restart of GNOME that caused the odd behavior? I'll reopen this bug if I see it again.
Ok, closing it for now. Thanks !
