.Trash not working properly

[Ben Davis <ben xsusio com>]

When I move something to the trash folder, the trash icon doesn't switch
to "full mode", nor does the trash contain anything when I double-click
to open it. Also, when I do move something to it, it gets sent to the
~/.Trash folder, but I can't empty it from the icon.  For example,   I
have two windows open, one for "~/.Trash" and another for "trash:"...  I
drag something to "trash:" and it appears in "~/.Trash" but nothing
shows up in the "trash:" folder.

I've checked that famd is running and it definately is.  Can anyone tell
me what's happening here?
