Trash system

[textshell at t-online.de]

One other thing I'd like to see in a standard for trash-bins is a
standard way to say "I don't like this trash conscept at all". This
would allow me to disble this whole trashing without fiddling around
with all the different Desktops(If we get more FMs/Desktops to use this
scheme). What about a file like ".NOTRASH" in a prominent(~/Trash/ ?)
place to disable this stuff at once?

Don't misunderstand me I don't think the trash concept is not bad, but i
simply don't like it. I think (Ok, try believe) that i do know what file
should be deleted. I don't mean to offend anyone who like this feature,
it's just my personal attitude.


Yet another thing to standardize is what should happen to the files in
the trash:
	- should they be deleted after an specific time?
	- Is there any limit of the size of the trash-bin? Should old file be
deleted if exceeded?
	- maybe something else
