Probably this is due to operator error, The Recycle Bin in GNOME disappeared, for this CentOS 5.5 (32 bit) Desktop PC. The box is fully updated.
Is there a command I can use, or another procedure, to get the Recycle Bin in GNOME working again?
The .trash folder is there.
Incredibly rare that I use the KDE Desktop, but it is also installed on this box and the Trash folder (like the Recycle Bin on GNOME) is working perfectly, so this seems to be something I've done to GNOME.

How did you make it disappear? Revert the change. :-)
It is possible that it is there but not visible on the desktop. Install gconf-editor (yum install gconf-editor) and run it. Then, go to apps -> nautilus -> desktop. Make sure trash_icon_visible is checked.

Ha. I wish I knew how it happened..... This is my daughters box. Mine was damaged or destroyed, along with other things, during a recent T storm.

Thank you! I will try that and report back.

I installed and ran gconf-editor. The trash-icon-visible was checked. Anything else I might try, to get the Recycle Bin back onto the Desktop? TIA!

I don't know of any other way to make the Trash icon visible/invisible in gnome. After making sure the visible option is checked, have you tried re-login (or restart the computer) ? Also check to see if your nautilus is not broken:
rpm -V nautilus

ktrash --help-all is interesting also :-)....

($user should be $USER in that last line ... but I'm skeptical of that suggestion having the correct effect, because I can see the Trash on my desktop without having a trash.desktop file present in the Desktop directory.)
Misc. things that come to mind ...
It's possible to rename the Trash icon. Are you sure it's not there and just called something else?
In gconf-editor, did you try toggling trash-icon-visible to off, saving, then toggling back to on and saving again?
Install the "cog" package (available from rpmforge) and look at the "Nautilus" tab. Try toggling the trash icon option from there.

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...

Well, I need to remember to look at the .trash folder once in awhile and empty it. Not sure what I did to create this issue. Thanks to each of you who replied and for your ideas and suggestions!
