PPS
I have just created the ~/Desktop/Trash directory and put a file in it.
When I collected trashcans that file was collected as well.
The problem seems to be a language one : my KDE trash is called 
Corbeille instead of Trash and it's not my fault but KDE's; it's been 
like that ever since I started using KDE years ago.
Now I know how to change that in KDE but wouldn't it be great if it 
could be done the other way round, if Xffm could be told that whatever 
directory one chose is to be considered a wastebasket ?
