Description
The current Trash implementation is somewhat less than ideal for several reasons:
1) It requires the creation of /home/Desktop on every non-boot volume. 2) as a consequence of the first point it isn't really multiuser-safe.
A proposed alternative is to move the Trash folder to the root dir of each volume, and have it segregated into per-user subdirectories. This will require changes to find_directory() as well as Tracker's FSCreateTrashDir / FSGetTrashDir and probably DesktopDirEntryIterator. Note that if we want the directory to be hidden when browsing the volume root, we will have to re-enable respecting the fInvisible attribute of PoseInfo, which has caveats for those multibooting with other BeOS variants as mentioned in hrev35040.
