KDE Trash Bin panel applet shows "Empty trash bin" as disabled even when trash contains objects

[steph_Z]

Using Kubuntu Hardy with latest updates. kdebase-bin 4:3.5.9-0ubuntu7.2.

Expected behaviour:

When the trash contains objects, the KDE Trash Bin panel applet should show a trash bin icon with paper inside. On clicking the icon we get a popup menu giving an enabled option to "Empty trash bin", clicking on which will cause the trash to be emptied.

When the trash does not contain any objects i.e. is empty, the applet will show a trash bin icon without paper inside and clicking it will show the popup menu with the "Empty trash bin" entry disabled.

Actual behaviour:

When the trash contains objects, the applet shows the bin with paper icon but the "Empty trash bin" popup menu item is disabled. As a result, we are not able to use this menu item to empty the trash.

Please fix this bug. It's somewhat quite irritating.

I can't recreate this.

Here is what i have
There is a french discussion where people are having the same problem :

I have noticed something :

1 - When I delete a file/folder in a normal way (left click -> delete, or with Keyboard) -> i have the grey menu entry and cannot empty folder.

2 - When I slide a file I want to delete over the trash icon, the entry menu is here again.

If i redo 1 after 2 => grey menu comes back....

I confirm this bug and have updated the bug description today 2008-Jun-11, since the bug is confirmed to exist right now.

I could solve the problem:
The owner of $HOME/.kde/share/config/trashrc was set to root:root (the access rights for alle the files in the config folder seem to be 0600 by default)
I changed the ower to my user name (sudo chown <myuser>:<mygroup> /home/<myuser>/.kde/share/config/trashrc) and the "empty trash bin" works normally again.

The trashrc file contains the current status of the trash bin and is read by the applet. I don't know, how the "move to trash bin" works exactly in KDE, but i think this file is updated (or even recreated) every time a file is move to the trash bin. If you start a file manager as konqueror or krusader in root mode, the trashrc file is maybe recreated with root access rights.
It's maybe a solution to set the group of this file to "root" and set the access rights to 0660 to avoid recreation of this file (i didn't test this).

Trashcan Widget in KDE 4.1 works fine for me with the one exeption, that when I chose to empty the Trashcan, the Icon is not changed to an empty trashcan.

When I move one more/new item to the trash and than (in Dolphin) choose to restore it, the widget's icon is up to date now again (as empty).

Seems as if that could have someting to do with the above mentioned issues...

I don't see as to how a loss of absolute basic functionality like this can be called low priority...

Works in Intrepid (also updates icon now).

Fixed boundary condtion check for ksync bulk msgs

Agent assert is seen when the size of the bulk message sent to vrouter
is equal to 4096 as the message size should be less than 4096.The code
allows to form bulk message upto 4096.
Fixed this boundary condition issue.
