KDE Trash bin disappeared, restored, but cannot empty trash
A while back I installed xfce to play with it, and found that I had 2 trashbins on the xfce desktop, so I deleted the one that didn't work. (DUH.)
Back in KDE, this removed my desktop Trash bin. To restore the KDE trash bin I did this:
create file ~/Desktop/Trash.desktop containing the following:
[Desktop Entry]
Comment=Contains removed files
EmptyIcon=trashcan_empty
Encoding=UTF-8
Icon=trashcan_full
Name=Trash
Type=Link
URL=trash:/
I also tried right clicking on the desktop to create a url which links to trash:/ with some success too.
So I have a trashbin now, but the option to "empty trash bin" is grayed out, and when the trash bin contains files or folders, the icon still appears empty.
ls -l gives this:
-rw-r--r-- 1 misfit138 users 140 2007-10-08 15:52 Trash.desktopI have also tried refreshing desktop, and reloading the icon theme. I've exhausted my googling and cannot figure out how to restore the empty trash function, nor correct the empty icon, when trash is full. Any help is appreciated.
