Public bug reported:

Can't delete files with names longer than 131 characters.

Thunar says:

"File operation in progress
Moving files into the wastebasket...

Unable to create wastebasket info file
File name too long"

Using 'rm' on the command line does delete the file.

gvfs-trash, however, produces the same error on the command line:

"Error deleting file: Unable to create wastebasket info file: File name
too long".
