Bug Description

In Jaunty when I unmounted a usb drive through Gnome, a dialog popped up asking me if I would like to empty the trash of this device.

In Karmic, I don't see this dialog anymore, and as a result I ended up with no more free space on my key while it appeared empty. I think it can be pretty confusing for new users.

Oops, I guess it isn't the good package name as "gnome-volume-manager" is marked as not installed.

Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. However, a paper cut should be a small usability issue, in the default Ubuntu installation, which affects many people and is quick and easy to fix. So this bug can't be addressed as part of the project.

A quick glance on the upstream bug report seems to indicate that this bug is most certainly not trivial to fix, and therefore it is not a valid paper cut.
For further info about papercuts criteria, please read <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut>.

Don't worry though, This bug has been marked as "Invalid" ONLY in the papercuts project.
