Comment 5 for bug 413746

Problem:

I put the pendrive, a Nautilus window opens, I click some files in the pendrive and select "move to trash", then I try to unmount the pendrive and a nautilus windows appear with the three options (cancel, empty trash, do not empty trash). The empty trash option cleans everything including files with no writting permission.
It seems that when unmounting the system wants to clean the pendrive trash, but instead of doing that it deletes the home files.
