It should display them correctly, as long as your system saves filenames
in ISO-8859-1 format. Maybe your filenames are in UTF-8? (That would be
a first). Here's a snapshot with perfectly good accentuated characters
from spanish:

Which, BTW, also displays well in nautilus too (2.0.6)

Output looks as if you are trying to "uncollect" trash from a trashbin
that has already been uncollected. When you "uncollect all trash", all
you really do is delete the DBH file where the wastebasket information
is stored. Your actual wastebaskets are untouched. That's why strace
says it can't find the file to unlink. To remove wastebaskets and their
contents, choose the next menu item, "delete all trash". This will only
delete wastebaskets that have been collected, and since you
"uncollected" all trash, there is nothing to remove.

You can either:
1. Choose the directory to collect trash from and use popup menu to
collect trash, and when that's done, "delete all trash" from popup or
main menu.

2. Just select the wastebasket you want to zap and select remove. Any
file that is already in a wastebasket, or a wastebasket folder, when
removed will be deleted from the system. (No wastebaskets within
wastebaskets).

Please check the help item "root branches->trash". If it is not clear or
missing some point of the above explanation, let us know so we can fix
it. ;-)
