Version: 1.0.1 (using 4.0.1 (KDE 4.0.1), Debian packages) Compiler: cc OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.22-3-amd64 If I have a trash icon on my desktop, that is leftover form KDE3. Or if I try to get one by draging one from my Places or the K-Menu, I have a trash icon on the desktop, but it does not exhibit the expected behavior of being able to drag icons there and have them go into the trash. Neither can I right click on it to empty the trash. The only thing this allows me to do is to look into the trash.
plasma has its own trash applet - it was in playground, but I think it's in kdereview right now. someone's planning to move it into kdebase soon. you should delete that icon and use the trash applet.
Chani: indeed; however, the icon applet probably needs much better drop support in general. it should open files with the associated application if it's an app; offer to copy/move the file to the folder if its a folder URL, etc...
hm.. looking at the code it already does this, actually. it's just trash:/ and other such protocols that don't work. looking into it now ....
SVN commit 775266 by aseigo: * enable proper dropping on desktop files that contain paths to directories (also works for, e.g. trash:/) * plug several memory leaks ruphy: this is a good candidate for backporting. no strings, numerous bug fixes.

maybe when the applet will be in base add it instead of an icon applet when a trash:/ url is dragged in the desktop? (i know, special cases are evil, but otherwise reports like this will keep coming because it's not so obvious)
