Trash in FC5 not working?

[Zubin Bharucha <z.bharucha@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Perhaps I'm stupid but perhaps there's a problem with Gnome in FC5. I'm 
wondering if anyone else has noticed this problem.
The other day, I hit delete on a file. In FC4, this would send it 
straight to the trashcan and it would stay there until I clicked "empty 
trash" or until I recovered/restored it. However, here, it just 
disappeared like as if I'd permanently deleted it. The trash can 
remained empty and obviously "empty trash" remained unhighlighted. So 
what's the deal? Am I doing something wrong? Have I not selected some 
option? I also tried dragging a file to the trash and it disappeared 
too. Shouldn't something as basic as the trashcan work straight out of 
install?
Hit back with replies if you've noticed this problem. It might be a 
serious problem for some people. Luckily none of the files I deleted 
were of any great importance.
