Bug Description

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

Files which are not on a 'native' Linux file-system cannot be deleted directly ('move to trash' option in the player) through the player.
The error is as follows:

'Unable to find or create a trash directory'

Which is absolutely normal, I guess, but there is no other way to delete the files through the player (the 'Remove' option only removes the song in the player, it does not delete it on the HDD).
