    why dI assume you want to remove a *trailing* "/KDE.trash"?
    I would not call my login like this, but you never know ;-)
    
    Also: you exit on ::init() if this path cannot be created - so why are the alternative paths not attempted there and is handling the failed path anywhere else actually reasonable (ie. does the kioslave actually work under this condition?)

As a result, all applications that propose to move things they manage to the wastebin (Dolphin, but also digiKam) will store those items in a place that has no particular meaning on OS X, and that will thus tend to fill up.

Files deleted from other volumes end up in `/Volumes/volName/.Trashes/uid`, where volName is the volume name (regardless whether it's an external or a remote drive; only mounted NFS shares are handled differently) and uid the numerical user id. Permissions on `.Trashes` are the same as those expected by KDE.
