Bug Description

When you search for a file using "Search for files...", if you right click and
choose "Move to Wastebasket" it gets deleted and the window shows "No files
found", but if you drag the file to the Trash applet on the lower right corner,
it gets deleted but the window doesn't refresh to show "No files found".
I don't think this is your problem, maybe it's a Gtk or Gnome problem but
anyway, I report it here.

Moving to the gnome-utils component. The search window is a program called
"gnome-search-tool", which is in that package.

To fix this problem, gnome-search-tool would need to monitor all the files in
the search results. From a quick grep of the source code, it isn't even
attempting this, so won't notice any changes other applications do.

The file is removed from the list when the right click menu because the move is
performed by gnome-search-tool, and it manually removes the item from the list.
