Trash applet don't change the 'full icon' after the system disconnect a USB driver in Ubuntu 12.04

[antonioni]

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.)

Obs.: A slave HD can be used to test this problem (mounting and unmounting it).

The frame in trash window becomes white. When empty, it should be orange.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

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!

I'd say "Fix your attitude and expectations"
