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:/

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