Trash Handling Spec

It may be worth telling them how xffm currently handled trash. At
least early in the discussion there was talk of maintaining the entire
directory tree under .trash for trashed files, in order to prevent
filename collisions. This seemed like a major performance issue,
especially for systems with filesystems that perform badly for
directory creation. The spec may benefit from a quick description of
what you already do.
