Bug Description
When running Nautilus with the command "sudo nautilus" and I go into my Trash folder by going here: Rubbish_
I get this error message: Could_Not_
I am assuming this is because when running Nautilus with sudo it makes it not able to deal with the Trash path "Trash:\\\\" as this is not the real path, or perhaps it may have something to do with this bug: https:/

nautilus is not meant to be used under sudo

You are not supposed to start GUI applications with sudo, use gksudo instead. Do you still experience this issue when starting nautilus with gksudo?
