When moving a file called 'file' to trash, one could rename it to something 
like '.file.to_be_deleted' (but keep it in the same directory) and add the 
name of the file to a list of files that are in the trash. When accessing a 
directory with konqueror, the files which match '.*.to_be_deleted' should be 
added to the trash list if the current user is allowed to delete them.

 This has these advantages.
- no files are moved to another partition
- no name clashes in the trash
- it is almost always possible to rename a file
- scheme works for directories with access for multiple users
- no need for a seperate trash for each parititon
- it's verbose: users not using konqi will understand the filename appendage
- it's easy
