Bug Description

in order to empty the wastebasket, it is
needed to choose file->empty wastebasket.
this is not immediately obvious.

a better solution, in my opinion, will be to add an "empty wastebasket"
ribbon under the address bar (similar to what is done when
in cd-burning mode).

package is nautilus. the reporter wants that when nautilus displays the trash, it has a special blue "ribbon" with a button to empty the trash.
Such a ribbon is available when you go to CD burning mode in nautilus, in that mode it has a special button "Write to disc" (to go to that mode, click in the menus Go->CD/DVD creator).
