Making the Trash icon disappear? (forever?)
 

I'm using KDE 3.2, and I don't want the trash icon to show up when I start KDE anymore. I don't use it and it really bugging me. I tried to delete it with my user permissions and with root permissions, but it show up again every time I start KDE.
any ideas???
TIA.

you just have to change the $PATH variable.
for my user I keep the trash-bin the my ~home directory instead of it being on the desktop.
bring up the KDE control center, find the menu tree for your $PATH entries,
one of them will be for the trash bin.........I believe you can just delete the whole line if you want.......don't quote me on that tho..........

... and how to get it back?
 

I by mistake deleted my trash-bin from my desktop. How can I get it back?

Hey thanks! I wanted to delete the trash icon too!

to get it back you must make a directory in /home/youruser/.kde or something called Trash, and then make an Icon.

I have a folder called .Thrash in my /home/user folder
Making an icon, however, does not work. After generation, it tries to 'run' it instead of opening. I also tried to find it on my root desktop, but there is no reference at all to the trash icon.
