trash can purging

[Santiago Serebrinsky]

Thank you! It worked great. Actually, the link to the trashcan is
available by default.

PS: Where is the actual location/specification of trash:/ ? Is it a soft
link? Can it be handled from the command line (e.g., for purging the
trashcan from a script without having to refer to Konqueror)?
