Just to clarify:

Using this concept, when one would VIEW the Trash Folder, one would see:
====
file1.sxw
file2.sxw
img1.png
notes.txt
====

However, none (or few) of the files would be there.  If one would use the CLI 
as root, one would see something like:

===
# ls -a /home/me/Desktop/Trash

file1.sxw -> /opt/extra_space/me/.trash/file1.sxw
file2.sxw -> /opt/extra_space/me/.trash/file2.sxw
img1.png -> /var/www/html/images/reference/.trash/img1.png
notes.txt -> /usr/share/me/.trash/notes.txt
=====

These file could be on local partitions, or even NFS directories.  If a file 
cannot be soft linked, then the user probably wants to delete it anyway [ 
Example: for a ftp:// file ] and should probably given that option.

Back to work...
