That's right.  When the photo collection resides on a file system 
mounted at /photos, then the trash directory's name is

b=`sed -n "s,^${USER}:x:\([0-9]*\):.*,/photos.Trash-\1.files,p" 
/etc/passwd`

Obviously, the developers give their best for hiding the trash in 
such a way that it can't be retrieved any more.

Bye,
Wolfgang
