As we discussed in a previous thread, this should be cached, either in 
gnome-vfs or in eel. One of these two levels can make some kind of 
assumption that once you find or don't find trash, you don't have to keep 
looking for it over and over again.

I would like to see the work for locating the trash done when mounting and 
unmounting happens, and no I/O at all done when eel_uri_is_trash is called.
