Bug Description

After than I work with files in a USB pendrive and I disconnect the device from the USB port, if I have files in the trash applet and I delete then from the trash, the "full icon" of trash applet don't change to the "empty icon".

The icon only changes correctly when the system is logged out or restarted.
Steps:

1. Plug a USB pendrive;
2. Work with some files on this pendrive (create, move and delete to trash);
3. Remove safety the pendrive;
4. Empty the trash;
5. The icon continues "full", even when the trash folder is empty.

(Obs.: this problem don't occur every time.)

Probably I discovered a pattern: This problem occurs when one or more files are deleted from the memory stick and this process automatically creates a hidden folder called ".Trash-1000" (and another hidden files) in the memory stick.

The icons are in sync while the memory stick is connected and files are created in and deleted from the memory stick. When the memory stick is disconnected later, this bug occurs when the trash applet is cleaned.

Fix this ridiculous bug, it is dirtying the reputation of the Ubuntu here!

Although this bug is real (confirmed in this page), Bugzilla says the problem is in the Unity bar, where the record I created (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=731247) was declared "RESOLVED" with resolution = "NOTGNOME". And now?
