When I click Trash (with the Location bar set in View) I get trash:/// — so,
yeah, I'm not quite sure why it works that way either. It really doesn't
show the location, but it gets me to the Trash folder anyhow. (Actually it
gets me to the files folder within the ~/.local/share/Trash folder. There's
three total folders there, files, expunged and info. So it's all still a
mystery to me.)
