I am using the Unity desktop. This is wastebasket launcher icon. The problem is not happening now so I guess it was a glitch in my system.
The problem was, trying to empty the wastebasket using right-click. A rectangular balloon popped up saying "Empty the rubbish bin...". When I right-clicked on the balloon to empty the bin, nothing happened. When I moved the mouse pointer away and clicked somewhere else on the desktop, the balloon remained but the bin stayed full. I was able to empty it by left-clicking on the bin icon to open the bin window then use the commands in the resulting window. Anyway, it is working now so I guess we can forget it it.
