Bug#374299: nautilus: Empty Trash does not work with read-only directories

[Andre Heynatz]

Package: nautilus
Version: 2.14.1-5
Severity: normal

Use Case: Check if CD or DVD is burnt correctly:
- copy the whole content of CD/DVD to hard disk
- remove that directory after copying with nautilus
- empty trash

I know that I can delete without using trashcan by using the shift key,
but I forget it sometimes.

Doing an "Empty Trash" empties trashcans on all partitions, but in my
case it fails with an error. The following dialog is shown:

=====================================================================
Error while deleting.

"/partition/.T...last_part_of_filename" cannot be deleted because you
do not have permissions to modify its parent folder.
=====================================================================

Indeed, the parent folder has permissions dr-xr-xr-x, which can be
expected if the folder has been copied from a CD/DVD.

Nautilus should try harder to delete the trashcan, eventually change
permissions to achieve that.
