[Paul <879673@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am using the Unity desktop. This is wastebasket launcher icon. The
problem is not happening now so I guess it was a glitch in my system.

The problem was, trying to empty the wastebasket using right-click. 
A rectangular balloon popped up saying "Empty the rubbish bin...". 
When I right-clicked on the balloon to empty the bin, nothing happened. 
When I moved the mouse pointer away and clicked somewhere else on the desktop, the balloon remained but the bin stayed full.

I was able to empty it by left-clicking on the bin icon to open the bin
window then use the commands in the resulting window.

Anyway, it is working now so I guess we can forget it it.

Thank you.

  When in desktop point at Rubbish Bin. 
  Right click shows contextual drop-down menu.
