Description
Gnome uses a different trashcan format from the freedesktop.org spec (which Xfce uses).
So if I run a Gnome-based program from within Xfce, but delete a file through that program, it doesn't show up in Xfce's trash. I need to use Nautilus to see Gnome's trash.
UPDATE: this issue appears to have been fixed in 8.04 (Hardy).
I also note the existence of the command-line trash-cli package for Intrepid. See http://code.google.com/p/trash-cli/
So this issue should be marked as already implemented.

Either this is completely wrong, or Gnome is doing something stupid.
+1, freedesktop.org standardization ftw

Yes, all desktop environments should use a standard so that they can share the same trash.

Hm. If this is not the case - could you report this at launchpad as well?

I thought this was already the case. Starting with Ubuntu 8.04, Nautilus has started putting the trash in ~/.local/share/Trash which I thought was exactly where XFCE also put the Trash.

Like FuturePilot, I'm 99% sure that this was fixed in Hardy.
+1 anyways in case it isn't.

It could be I'm referring to files deleted before upgrading. I'll need to check specific cases.
