It would be really strange if deep count was done, but reported only the
partial results (ignoring e.g. remote trashes) without telling you. Of
course, your patch does result in deep counts sometimes gotten for
remote trashes even if the preference disables this. However, I don't
think this is a huge problem. Its more important to have the deep count
in the property dialog.

So, please commit this.
