All system files appear in trash applet

[Alex]

Hi,

I'm using Feisty, with 2.6.20.16 kernel. Gnome-applets and Gnome-applets-data versions: 2.18.0-0ubuntu1

Without any obvious reasons, my trash applet shows files that really shouldn't be there:

Few days ago, I emptied my trash bin through the trash applet. Before I noticed anything, 230Go of data were lost. That was the content, and only the content, of my external hard disk.

I then reinstalled Feisty, only keeping my /home. It went fine for 24 hours or so.

Today the same thing happened. I just put my cursor over the trash applet, and notice a huge amount of files. But this time, my WHOLE system is in there. So I tried to open the trash applet but it wouldn't, and I noticed that Nautilus was freezed. ("killall nautilus" didn't help).

So I rebooted.

If I have a look at the ./trash from my /home or another partition, there's nothing more in there that what should be, it looks fine, and I can empty it normally.

Here is my post on Ubuntu forum:

Hi,

Sorry for duplicate :/

I'm very surprised the bug has a "low" importance. I personally lost
260Go by emptying my trash-bin... This is worst than getting a trojan on
Windows... I concider it very dangerous.

I guess it's because not too many users are affected. Hope it'll be
solve soon.

Thanks a lot,

Alex.
