I was afraid that would happen (that's why I emphased it two times
before that it's not about your patch/delete vs trash).
Ok, my ideal system (read PC with multible disks/filesystem, LAN,
slow fish/ssh remotes), would use trash w/o ever copying files, only mv it
to a trash dir on that same fs or delete it.
Note, that I'm not trying to discourage you developing this. Only that,
with current trash impl., I'm never gonna use trash if 'delete'
disappears from the rmb menu because I do most of my work on other fs than
that of $HOME (and that shared vfat example was for showing that
non-developers might have this problem too).
