Can't add trashcan to desktop ??

Hi;

Could be the same problem as jt.  But trashcan disappeared off my
desktop a couple of days ago and gconf-editor => nautilus won't put it
back.  I have added the trashcan to my bottom panel but would prefer it
on my desktop.

Right click on the desktop (or other location)->add (im not sure my
translation to English) activator, next change type to location, and in
location field put: trash:///, name it like you want ;)

That got my trashcan back on my desktop.  But ... it is a workaround.
Gnome and/or gconf.editor (nautilus) are still not working properly and
should be fixed.

Ah!ritz;

That's the rub.

That configuration is what I have, and what I have changed from true to
false and back to true again; logged in and out; etc.  No trash can.

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.
