Shouldn't CVS ignore all .* files? What about e.g. .xvpics or other thumbnail 
directories?

A trash implementation like this would benefit from support that's wider that 
just KDE. What's the GNOME way of handling the trash? A linux/unix wide trash 
consensus would be nice, but I don't think it's attainable.

Especially for removable media, this type of trash is very easy. I've 
experience with it on old macs. If you'd insert a floppy with a deleted file, 
you're trash would suddenly be filled and you'd know that a deleted file was 
on the floppy.
It would be very nice if this feature would work on GNOME too. When emptying 
the trash, one might add a dialog to empty the trash per partition. It might 
however, confuse the user.
