Misunderstood. Ultimately I want to patch KDE, so that the word trash has no 
meaning, such as removing the trash:/ location, and so on. Just to give a 
feeling that I'm in control of my machine. I hate crappy software, or parts of 
good software that are crap (useless in this case).

I said I wasn't a newbie: I had spent a considerable time to go through all 
settings. Everything is tweaked to my liking (only as much as possible).

Hmm, good hack. Unfortunately, .trash isn't real, trash.desktop is a 'KDE link' 
to the KDE trash:/ location, if I'm right. I'll try anyway.

THX, btw.
