I recently found out what is causing the problem (so, we can now use a
workaround until the fix be available)...
The problem happens in NTFS-3G program (when mount NTFS filesystem)...
It seems that when Nautilus or Dolphin try to mount a partition (as the
user clicks in the partition icon), HAL calls MOUNT.NTFS (that is linked
to NTFS-3G) with the options
RW,UID=USERNUMBER,GID=USERNUMBERGROUP,FMASK=177,DMASK=077...
So I verified every options listed to exactly identify which one is
causing of the problem...
It seams that when a partition is mounted by NTFS-3G without the options
UID=,GID=,UMASK=077 (or FMASK=177,DMASK=077), the system cannot create the path
.TRASH-UID as well as the files inside it (the trashed files)...
For me this don't make sense, because if I use the option UMASK=000 (that is
more permissive than UMASK=077), the trash folder is not created (this don't
make sense)...
Therefore, I think this problem is a BUG and shall be solved as soon as
possible, since it limitates the user preferences related to UMASK...
PS: The UID and GID options are exclusive necessary to the correct
opening of the files inside the folder... Without this option, the trash
folder is created, but the user cannot access the files inside the
mounted point (mounted partition, etc)... What do cause the trash
problem is the UMASK option (or FMASK together with DMASK)...
This problem may be associated with other filesystems as well as NTFS-
3G, because it seams (I did not test the problem with other filesystems,
because I only work with EXT4 and NTFS filesystems) that the creation of
the trash folder is done by another program inside LINUX that works both
inside KDE and GNOME (so, it's an independent program that works with
Nautilus and Dolphin)... Therefore, the filesystems that have the
options UMASK,FMASK,DMASK may be affected by this bug...
I hope I could help,
André M.
