Right, that's awkward.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.  For
instace:
- open a text file with Leafpad and it works, open it with GVIM and it 
  doesn't work.
- open an image with display and it works, open an image with GIMP and
  it doesn't work, however GIMP is more verbose and print this out:
  " Impossible d'ouvrir « /home/mike/trash:///0-jitcrunch.jpg » en
    lecture : Aucun fichier ou répertoire de ce type " (sorry for the
    french).

IMHO it should not open the property box by default :/

Sure it would look better.  The real problem is that there is no good
implentation at how to show the trash:// URI and nobody came with a good
solution IIRC.  Dig the mailing-list if you have time.
