I don't know if Nautilus already supports the freedesktop trash 
specification but at least the idea of that spec is to make 
trash handling compatible and consistent.

Purging the trash "the right way" is simple in Konqueror: 
Just enter trash:/ in the location bar.  You'll be shown the 
content of the trash.  Right-clicking the background 
offers you an option to empty the trash.

If you like you can also create a bookmark or an icon 
pointing to that trash URL. 


HTH,
