Title:
  no Trash folder for root user

Status in Nautilus:
  Unknown
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  This bug is not new to karmic i have seen it in jaunty but it never
  bother me until now.

  This is a fresh install of Karmic from the Alternate CD

  There is NO root user trash folder.

  That is, /root/.local/share/Trash does not exist.

  If i launch nautilus with the gksudo command I get this error...

  ***
  The folder contents could not be displayed.
  Sorry, could not display all the contents of "trash": Operation not supported
  ***

  Browsing via the terminal does not reveal a  /root/.local/share/Trash

  Unto my problem...
  Where do delete files go when deleted in nautilus when nautilus is launched with gksudo.

  I deleted a sizable file but the diskspace was not returned to me from
  this deleted file which means it is still on the disk, I know not
  where.

  Can someone tell me where to look.

  Thanks.
