The best way to do this might be to change nautilus to add a
application/x-panel-applet-iid target when dragging the trash.
But we could implement this in gnome-panel too...

It makes sense. Or we could simply remove the trash from desktop.

I'm not sure but we might need some changes in nautilus.

Well... Why can we add multiple menu bars? I agree that this is useless
most of the time, but how can you easily limit the number of instances
of an applet, usability-wise? If you remove the applet from the "Add to
panel" dialog, then the content of this dialog changes depending on the
applets already in use by the user. Not very intuitive...
