gvfs leaves unremovable items in trash

Bug Description

In some cases one is not able to emty the trash. No explanation whatsoever is displayed and only forcefully removing the respective trash directories sorts out things. This seems to be the case especially if you delete folders that contain files/folders that you do not own (i.e. created by root).
