Package: nautilus
Version: 2.6.3b-4

Nautilus does not create .trash-<username> folders on network drives,
but it does on removable media. This is somewhat annoying when working
with portable media players, usb-drives, etc because I need to locate
and delete the .trash folder at the root of the drive after removing
files.

I suspect this would be quite confusing to a novice. It took me a few
moments to figure out why my drive was still full after deleting all of
the media files on the device.

Suggested behavior:
Treat removable media like remote drives and delete file permanently.
