I think moving any deleted files to ~/.Trash (one central place) would
be nice and solve two bugs at the same time...

trash-applet says "there are no objects" because it looks at ~/.Trash ,
which is the proper place to look. I guess this issue would be resolved
if trash of removable drives is located at ~/.Trash as well, instead of
/media/drive/.Trash

iAudio still plays deleted files or the digital camera is still full bc
the trash is created at /media/drive/.Trash - If deleted items were
moved to one central place ~/.Trash, this wouldn't be a problem. The
camera/iaudio would be emptied even without
"real_delete_if_drive_removable" (which is a very bad idea imho).
