I've read through all your complaints about trash, and as near as I can tell, they fall in two categories:

* Problems that are solved by the /UID/ indirection
* Problems that are solved by not changing the access permissions or ownership of the file when moving it to trash.

If I have missed any cases, please point them out to me.
