the desktop as
it should be in Gnome, but has disappeared from the KDE desktop.
It's just a folder. You can create a new one by right
clicking on your
desktop and creating a folder. Then point that folder to
/home/<user>/Desktop/Trash
yeah...um here's the rub.., I get the distinct impression it's not "just" another folder. you can create tons of folders anywhere on the filesystem and not one of them will behave the same way the Trash folder does which leads me to believe there is something special about it. For instance when you delete stuff it auto-magically goes into the "trash" folder. When you right click on it one of your choices is "Empty Trash".
So I'm pretty certain it's not just a folder.
Look in:
/usr/share/apps/kdesktop
file: directory.Trash
If it exists edit it and make sure it is not hidden.
Also:
/usr/share/apps/systemview
file: trash.desktop
Make sure it exists and isn't hidden.
