What a great idea - a classic "why didn't I think of that?" - I can
use it to put a wastebasket / trash icon on my panel (fixing my
separate problem from 2 threads ago) thus:

Right-click on panel, select "Add to panel", select "Custom
application launcher", then either:

a) use "Type: Application", "Name: Trash" and "Command: nautilus trash:/", or
b) use "Type: Location", "Name: Trash" and "Location: trash:/"

bulislaw, you're a genius (for finding a workaround for my previous
problem and not even realizing it) - thank you.
