cool.. i've grabbed the source and will look at it later, hopefully with some 
feedback...

yes... but instead of having it run the command, have it use trash:/ (which 
then seperates it from the implementation detail of what is actually behind 
it and makes it usable elsewhere as an ioslave) ...

if the trash is actually in a hidden dir then we can supply an icon that links 
to trash:/ ... as for making the .trash dir have appropriate context menu 
Action entries, you can put servicemenus directly in ~/.trash/.directory and 
they'll show up...
