Comment 9 for bug 72468

I'm having a similar problem. My applet show empty, and empty trash is greyed out, but they are actually items in the trash folder. I've included an attachment with a screen shot. I have never used the delete key to empty my trash. I've tried logging out and logging back in, but that didn't work. Now, I did remove it at one point when I was fooling around with how I wanted the panels, but I cant remember if it was working before then. I'm working with herd 5, 32 bit architecture.
