Right, so we have: "Release 1.1.2: KDEnium unbound!"
More seriously, I'd weigh in to vote in favor of "Garbarge" or "Wastebasket"
as a replacement for trash.  We can always i18n to "Rubbish" for the Brits.

Also, has anybody talked to Cygnus about the QtAWT?  You know they have that
java-native code compiler, but they completely lack AWT capabilities and a
lot of other libraries.  Of course there are some real differences between a
runtime Java library and a lib for compiled Java, but if QtAWT fills out, it
would clearly provide a great base.  Being able to compile Java code and use
it with KDE would be a HUGE plus towards achieving a bit more "lanugage
independence" for the project.
