Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-applets

! This is NOT a repititon or duplicate of the "Trash doesn't start / disappears" bugs 211604 or 195915 !

I use Ubuntu Hardy with the latest proposed updates. My Trash Applet version is 2.22.2.

A couple of days ago my trash icon from the panel went missing so I tried re-adding it but apparently to no avail. Today I realized that I had 3-5 trash applets running since they all added correctly. My problem is that the trash icon in the panel doesn't render an icon at all. The applet loads and works as expected but is practically invisible to the user because it is rendered with approx. 1px width and no icon. I just found out that it was there by randomly clicking on the edges of my panel. I can access the context menu and even the trash folder itself by clicking "on" that invisible area. I can add multiple trash icons and they are all invisible but there. I don't know what's wrong this behavior shows with all icon themes I've tried so far (Human, Gion) and for all panel sizes.

gnome-applets 2.22.2-0ubuntu1

Reproducible: always

Steps:
1. Open "Add to Panel"
2. Select "Trash"
3. Click "Add"
4. Look for added padding space on the edge of the panel
5. Right-Click padding space
6. Select "Empty Trash" or other

Actual results:
Adds trashcan to the panel that doesn't render an icon and thus is invisible

Expected results:
Adds a usable visible trashcan to the panel

I solved it this way, not really ellegant but efficient.
Applications > System tools > Configuration editor > apps > panel > applets. Then you find Trash applet and check "use custom icon". After that I got my icon back. If you don't have a menu Configuration editor, go to System > Main menu > System tools and check it.
Hope it helps. Btw I'm running Hardy AMD64.
