Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

1) Ubuntu 9.04 last version of kernel update.
2) Nautilus
3) I was trying to unmount a usb pendrive (256 MB), I wanted to deleted files in the pendrive to get some space.
4) The system asked that the trash was not empty and asked me what to do: "Do not empty trash" ; " Cancel ; " Empty trash". I selected "Empty trash", and that resulted in a file operations window that hangs on preparing, and causes all user files be deleted without warning (contents of the user's Home). Selecting "do not empty trash" does not cause any problems.
The file operation windows appear each time one selects " Empty trash" while unmounting a usb.
This was on a system installed from the 8.04 beta iso, and updated via internet to the 9.04 version (June, I guess), with Nautilus version 1:2.24.1-0ubuntu1 (I guess, I am writing this bug from a different computer with another system).

Yes, all the time.
the first time I did not realise about it, but this time I was doing something else and it deleted all my files including those without the user permission.

Problem:

I put the pendrive, a Nautilus window opens, I click some files in the pendrive and select "move to trash", then I try to unmount the pendrive and a nautilus windows appear with the three options (cancel, empty trash, do not empty trash). The empty trash option cleans everything including files with no writting permission.
It seems that when unmounting the system wants to clean the pendrive trash, but instead of doing that it deletes the home files.
