This looks to me to be a problem with Nautilus (or whatever is providing
the delete->trash mechanism).

I suspect that it doesn't want to move files across mount points, as
this can take a long time (as compared to flipping a few inodes).

If your trash bin is in your encrypted Home, then to move a file from
/tmp to Trash means encrypting it (which might take a few seconds if the
file is big).

Some special case handling (or optional configuration) might be required
in Nautilus.

I'm assigning this bug to the Nautilus package, as I think that's what
provides the Trash bin.

Thanks.

Bug description:
Using Karmic 2.6.31-14-generic

When I try to delete a file anywhere outside of my home folder, I get a message saying that it cannot be moved to trash. I am given an option to permanently delete it.

Steps to reproduce:
1 - Go to the /tmp folder.
2 - Create a new file there (Right click > Create Document > Empty File).
3 - Try to delete that file.
