Bug#478289: nautilus: dragging volume to trash provides even less helpful response

[brian m. carlson]

Package: nautilus
Version: 2.22.1-1
Severity: normal

Attempting to drag a volume to the trash no longer provides the
(unhelpful and annoying) message that you should use Eject instead; now
it claims:

   Error while deleting.

   There was an error getting
   information about "Audio Disk.volume".

   > Show more details
   The specified location is not supported

Although I am of the opinion that dragging a volume to the trash should
eject the volume, because that's what everyone who does that expects it
to do, the current situation is a regression in helpfulness.  "The
specified location is not supported" is not at all helpful, and wouldn't
mean anything to me if I hadn't already known that nautilus doesn't
support trash-to-eject.

Please fix it to either restore the old message or support
trash-to-eject.
