Bug Description

I've started nautilus with sudo for accesing system crash files in /var/crash , which are only readable with root priviledges.

After handle the crash files(sending) they become opsolete to me, so I move hem to trash.

When I try to acces root trash folder with(still sudo)nautilus it was not possible.
Nautilus keeps on the message"loading" and does not show the trash.

So, I have files in the root trash that I could not access with sudo nautilus and with this I am not able to delete them completely.
