Despite having a reputation for pulling these 'hands/mouth in gear before 
brain got started' things, I blame computer gremlins for this one .... for 
some reason or another, in the account I am currently using, Debian/KDE 
decided to not use the trash can and dump everything deleted into never-never 
land. Still haven't figured out where/what to change to get my trash can 
functionality back (hints?).
