STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open Dolphin and make sure Trash is empty
2. install Strawberry music player and open it
3. click on "Tools" menu on top and choose "Settings"
4. click on "Playlist" in the left side
5. check "Enable delete files in the right click context menu" and click on "OK" button
6. add 1 audio file to Strawberry playlist
7. right-click on the added audio file and choose "Delete from disk..."
8. confirm file deletion
9. go back to Dolphin: according to Trash icon, Trash remains empty (this is the bug)
10. restart Dolphin: now Trash is no longer empty, according to its icon

Another thing: after the last step, "Empty Trash" option from the context menu of Trash icon is grayed out. However, I can empty Trash via "Empty Trash" button in the tool bar.
