Just a simple question.
Why not use Cut<clipbook> instead of move<to /trash>?
(Ok, the clipbook is currently non functional... :(

This way the "trash bin" will be a global functionality that will work with 
other applications as well (not just MC). Besides, it would allow different 
storage methods for the "allmighty bitbucket" (if anyone would like that :)
