[Desktop Action Empty Trash]
Exec=thunar-empty-trash %F
Name=Empty Trash
Icon=empty-trash

?

Maybe it's just me, but it's more than enough to have files. No need for
weird in-memory objects nobody is going to find anyway (think moving trash
to the panel or removing the thing from the desktop). 

Of course that still leaves the issue of when to determine whether
or not the trash is "empty", although that's of questionable utility
anyway.

cheers,
