What I'm really wondering about is after i posted that is I tried to
delete the trash can on a clean install of a new account and could not
with out Force.  Yea I was able to rename it and still use it also.  The
reverse works with KDE or used to.

I know it is got to be irritating..  If you right click on the Gnome
Panel Bar Click Add Look in the scroll down box for the trash applet
Click Add then drag it to the desktop may get it back...
