Version: (using KDE 4.0.80) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux It's 5 minutes since I've emptied the trashcan through the applet and checked with dolphin. It still thinks that there are 201 items in it. Using beta 1 packages from kubuntu
Cannot reproduced, using KDE compiled from svn trunk, today's check out. Trash plasmoid has been working steadily for me since a few months, I use it regularly. You must have something not set correctly in your system.
I cant rule out that it's a misconfiguration since I'me not using vanilla edition. The trashcan found the right amount of items next time I booted.
This works for me too Please reopen though if this still affects you (it might have been a 1-time library mismatch)
