Yep. But where to store the metadata? I'd save the per-file metadata beside 
the file and keep the list of trash folder centralised. This is convenient 
for removable media.

We still keep the problem of knowing where trash folders are on removable 
media. Whenever trash:// is visited, all newly mounted mounts must be scanned 
with an algorithm, e.g. look for '.trash_username' in the first dir and look 
for it in all dirs whose parent doesn't have this directory. So, if there's a 
.trash_username in the first dir, one can stop scanning, but on for example a 
large /home-like directory, the scan can take a while.

Is there a way of knowing when a mount has been mounted?
