Bug Description
I have my trash on a separate partition from my desktop. If I try to delete a file from the desktop, I get an error message about moving files across file systems (which has some issues, related bug 33210)
I guess that there may be situations when the user should be warned about moving files across file systems (am not sure about that, but am guessing that there must be a reason for the warning/error). But in this case I have explicitly moved my trash to a different file system and don't really want to be stopped or warned about file systems every time I delete something from my desktop. Is it possible to distinguish between the situations that really do merit a warning (whatever they are) and the situation where I clearly do want to move across file systems (in this case by the fact that I moved my trash)?

This is quite strange, I never used to have this problem when deleting files off my NAS in Edgy, however with the recent update to Feisty suddenly I am experiencing the same thing, which means it problely has something to do with device recognition on where the different file system is. I will have to try to see if this also happens on other removable media such as a CF or SD card in FAT/FAT32.
