I keep hearing that -- but I don't believe it. A broken trash
implementation is just going to result in Benny being flooded with
unnecessary bug reports. No trash is better than broken trash.
Users have a certain expectation of how trash works. If it doesn't work
that way, they are going to crib.
For example, if a user uses Thunar to delete 10GB of isos in his 100GB
/movies partition, he really won't like it when his 10GB /home suddenly
fills up.
Benny -- stick to an action script for trash until you can implement the
full trash spec.
