And "Filth" for US English?  ;-)

Actually, I think the desktop metaphores 'trash' and 'wallpaper' are all
wrong. You don't have a trash bin on your desk (most of us don't, right) let
alone wallpaper.

How do you call those boxes ppl have with in/out coming notes/papers?
Perhaps a "Obsolete files box" would be most appropriate. Although I guess
most users are too used to trash bins on their computer by now.
