Trash can point to wrong location


Hello,

My trashcan is pointing to the "/" directory instead of the "~/.Trash" directory.

When I type in "trash:/" in Nautilus, it is also opening the "/" directory.

Does somebody know how to change this?

I am running RHEL5 and I am using GNOME.

Thank you for your help.

are you logged in as root ?
sometimes the root account uses /.trash and not /root/.trash

also different partitions will have there own .trash
for example

my DATA share hdd with centos has it's own .trash

John,

No, I am not logged on as root.

I am logged on with my own user account.
This account however, is not a local account.
It exists in a NIS domain.

Hello,

I solved the issue.
I removed the ".gconf*" and ".gnome*" files and directories.
After that, I re-logged in and changed the theme to my own taste again.
