Title:
  Can't empty dotfiles from trash

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I wanted to move my ~/.gnupg directory from one flash drive to
  another.  After the copy succeeded, I moved the old drive's ~/.gnupg
  to the Trash, but I wasn't allowed to empty the Trash.  When I opened
  the Trash folder, I saw ~/.gnupg (after setting the "show hidden
  files" option, but still couldn't just right-click on the trash and
  permanently delete it.

  I tried creating an empty file named 'foo', moving it to the trash,
  and then emptying the trash, but it still deleted only 'foo', and left
  .gnupg alone.
