Where is the trash can in KDE?
I want to put a link to it on my desktop and I am having a hard time. I look at it's properties and it says it is in /trash. I look at the file system and I don't see it. I am using kubuntu 6.06. thanks.
My Systems:
Custom Desktop: Kubuntu 8.04.1 x86 + 2.6.24 kernel
Thinkpad T61p: Debian SID x64 + 2.6.26 kernel

I believe it's just a kio slave. When you create the link (Right click on kdesktop and go to Create New>Link to Location (URL)) just enter "trash:/" for the location (w/o the quotes, of course).

Thanks ! That worked. But what is a kio slave and why can't I see it from the root file system?

It's not a real directory, per se. I don't have a good explanation about what they are, but I am sure you can find one on the web. Basically, KDE has a series of "places" (several of which are viewable under your "go" menu) that are actually connections to protocols or places; for instance, http, ftp, and so on, all the way to trash, audiocd, and so on.
That's really a poor explanation, but maybe enough to get you started.

Actually it is in your home directory as .trash

Actually, no, it isn't there...at least in current versions of KDE. Now, it resides in ~/.local/share, and contains two directories--files and info.
Try deleting a file, and look in ~/.trash, and you won't find it. You will find it in the files directory mentioned above.

On the filesystem, your trash is kept in: ~/.local/share/Trash/files/
If you want to make a link to your trash on your desktop: Right click on the desktop, Create New, Link to Location (URL)..., URL: trash:/, File name: Trash
You should be all set

Oops, my bad, you are right, that is where it was in the old versions of KDE
