It _is_ a root directory. It just happens to be the root directory of the 
protocol trash. You'd better look at the url itself than the name of the item 
in my opinion. KURL::protocol() and KURL::path() being surely the methods
you are looking for.

I advise you also to check that everything works as expected when using the 
system:/ ioslave which tends to hide protocols like trash:/, you can access 
the trash using system:/trash URL.

And finally you might want to take a look at how konqueror popupmenu works. If 
I recall correctly the metabar is a way to display the relevant actions for a 
file selection or the current view, and this feature exists in the konqueror 
popupmenu too (it's in the kdebase/libkonq module).

Hope that helps.

Regards.
