According to the the fs_data structure in libgnomevfs/gnome-vfs-filesystem-type.c, trash should not be used on NTFS filesystems.
This is why no "Empty trash" dialog box is showed, gnomevfs thinks there can't exist a trash on such system.

So the bug is rather that a Trash is created on the volume which is supposed to not support it.
I don't know yet where the error lies.

However, I suppose that the "No trash on NTFS" setting was ok when ntfs was only read-only. Now a Trash can be created on such a filesystem.
So a quick workaround on this bug is to enable ntfs trash usage which what the attached patch does.

I put updated gnomevfs2 package including this fix in my personal package archive if someone want to test::
