right, the point is that graphical applications are not meant to be used
as superuser, it's insecure and leads to integration issue. There is
ongoing work to teach nautilus to use proper mechanisms to do actions
that require extra privilege which is a better way

Title:
  Error on accessing root trash

Status in Nemo:
  New
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  - Run Nautilus/Nemo with gksudo.
  - create a file/folder in /root.
  - Right-Click and choose "Move to Trash"
  --> the file disappears as expected.
  - some days later ...
  - Run Nautilus/Nemo with gksudo.
  - Click on Trash
  --> error message: Content of »trash:///« cannot be displayed.

  The files can be found in /root/.local/share/Trash/ or in case of
  external volume in .Trash-0/.

  IMO, if user can successfully move files to trash, there should be a
  reliable trash access to recover or finally delete files.
