Well, I wasn't exactly sure what I meant either :-)

Suppose I have two files - called "thisfile" and "thatfile" - in two 
directories - called "thisdir" and "thatdir" respectively.

If I use Xffm to throw these files away, they are moved to 
thisdir/..Wastebasket/thisfile and thatdir/..Wastebasket/thatfile 
respectively.

When I go to the main trashcan in Xffm, I can't see these files unless I 
have collected the trashcans (which can be done automatically). Once 
collected, I'll be able to see them from the main trashcan (even though 
they'll still be in their respective ..Wastebasket) and I will be able 
to delete them permanently from that main trashcan.

Now suppose I have another file in my KDE trashcan : let's call it
~/Desktop/Corbeille/thatotherfile (my kde speaks French). It has not 
been put there by Xffm but by KDE itself or by whatever script I've made.

I'd like to be able to go to the Xffm main trash, collect the 
wastebaskets and see that thatotherfile appear listed in the main trash 
so that the main trash would list thisfile, thatfile and thatotherfile.

Unfortunately it does not : as far as Xffm is concerned, 
~/Desktop/Corbeille is just any ordinary directory and its content is 
not listed in the main trashcan database.
I would like to be able to tell Xffm that a certain directory (in this 
case ~/Desktop/Corbeille/) is not an ordinary directory but one the 
content of which is to be included in the trashcan database.
	
Isn't that possible ? Well I wish it would be. Anyway that's what I 
understood when I read

Muchas gracias para su respuesta.

PS
I use XFCE 4 from the Debian testing (Sarge) repository.
