Bug Description
- Run Nautilus/Nemo with gksudo.
- create a file/folder in /root.
- Right-Click and choose "Move to Trash"
--> the file disappears as expected.
- some days later ...
- Run Nautilus/Nemo with gksudo.
- Click on Trash
--> error message: Content of »trash:///« cannot be displayed.
The files can be found in /root/.
IMO, if user can successfully move files to trash, there should be a reliable trash access to recover or finally delete files.
Otherwise, "Move to Trash" should be disabled in case of gksudo.
I now have found out, that the root trash is working as expected, if nemo/nautilus is started with "gksudo dbus-launch".
So if not started with dbus-launch, the error message after clicking "Trash" should be changed to a hint, that the application should be started with "gksudo dbus-launch".
Additionally in Nemo, the action "Open as root" should be fixed accordingly.
