Trash
Why is there no trash can? Is it planned for the future? Is there a work around?

Re: Trash
Any plan to implement a Trash can in LXDE? When I think of a desktop environment, it seems odd to have a desktop environment which is missing something as vital and basic as a trash can.

So what happens to a file once it is deleted?
I would assume it would be "moved" to /home/your-user-name/.local/share/Trash, but it doesn't. Does it just get physically deleted?
Surely this is easy to implement (move rather than delete), then perhaps implement a "special" version of pcmanfm to deal with the files in trash.

Re: Trash
Some people have used the the Thunar file manager to get a trash can. It won't give you one on your desktop, but when you delete files using Thunar it will go to a trash accessable through Thunar. Thunar is also pretty fast and light.

Re: Trash
You can also create a trashcan which will work with command line, and should work with PCManFM (has anyone confirmed this?) This also describes how to create a desktop trash icon.

Re: Trash
Depends on your filesystem.
I am using XFS on my machines and so files are gone, if they are RMed.
