What would be wrong with sending deleted files from any medium to the 
user's trash? (/home/user/.Trash)? A .Trash file in the medium is rather 
confusing, why have more than one trash can just because of a different 
medium?  And on your point, why would files from a different medium be 
deleted?  It would make sense for all deleted files, regardless of 
medium, to be moved to a users central trash.

Are there objections to this idea?
