They'd probably learn to look into the trash after the first
time that happens. 

The actual problem is that users don't expect the trash to be cleared
automagically (as a real-world trash would be). 
If they would, I'd do:
if no space available on filesystem for new file A, clear oldest trash
entries until there is.

:)

But that will inevitable lead to "You bastard! You emptied my trash! I had
life-important documents in there" ;)
