trash question

I have a question about the trash bin in KDE 3.5.6.
In KDE 3.4.2, when I right clicked on the trash icon, there was an item in
the submenu that said "empty trash bin" and when I clicked that, it asked
do I "really want to delete the items" and it showed me a list of the items.

On this newer KDE, it asks the same question but all it shows for the items
that are supposed to be in it is this: / I never click ok, because I'm
afraid that / means the root directory.

How can I get the trash bin to display it's actual contents when it asks
for confirmation?

* artist@noplacelikehome.com,

it behaves differently here, i.e. I don't see any confirmation dialog when I right click and empty the trash. Is that an updated version of KDE?
Anyway, if you check the properties of the trash icon, you see the URL is "trash:/", so the "/" you see is probably not the file system root.
If I really want to check what's in the trash, I just open it.

Even if it is the root directory (which I don't think it is), it doesn't
matter except your are using KDE as root. Otherwise you won't be able to
delete much.
