When re-starting the computer the contents of the Trash Bin have been cleared. I believe this might be a Session Manager issue but not certain.
This works for me, and it's likely that it was a problem in xfdesktop, which was fixed in this commit in the 4.10 branch (and included in 4.10.3 release): commit 3451401bf000d6b7aceca9ee52037bda4e391c7d Author: Eric Koegel <eric.koegel@gmail.com> Date: Mon Sep 9 09:03:34 2013 +0300 Fix for trash always showing empty on system startup (Bug 9006) When the system starts up querying G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TRASH_ITEM_COUNT always returns 0 items. Since xfdesktop does its own counting of valid items in the trash:/// skipping this check fixes this bug. If you still experience this bug, please reopen it.
