Hi out there

I found a bug concerning the KDE-Trashcan

In KDE-filemanager, you can copy the trashcan on itself (I wonder, if I
can do this with the real trashcan in my room :-). When doing so, KDE
starts into an endless loop creating one trash-folder into the the
other. This finally results in:

/user/Desktop/trash/trash/trash/trash/trash/trash/trash...

And now the problem ist, that you can't empty the trashcan anymore (in
fact, you perhaps can do this, but when I tried to do so, system
performance went down and it even took half a minute to switch to the
second virtual desktop and login as root).
You only can trashcan in a terminal using rm -r trash

As this seems to be a general KDE-Problem, I think I do not have to
include special data about my computer.

Greetings

Horst Laschinsky
