This might be similar to what Jasper suggested (having files added to
the trashbin when they are moved to the wastebaskets). The only issue is
that the search for wastebaskets is necessary to collect trash generated
by other users or other filemanagers (like xftree, nautilus, konqueror,
rox,...). OTH, it might be a different idea altogether... yea... Say
xffm creates a dbh cache file where all the Wastebasket paths it
encounters (while browsing) are stored. That would include all
wastebaskets generated by xffm or other apps. Then it would just collect
trash from those paths if they are within the selected directory for
trash collection. Quite easy to implement too.
