Something else to consider: moving files to trash in Tracker creates a 
task like all file transfers, that is pausable and cancellable.
Not doing this form inside Tracker would remove the "feature", 
appreciable when trashing 10000 files.
Plus emptying the trash is also done by Tracker, also with a task.

Now of course using a BEntry::MoveToTrash() for 10 entries you would 
need to call it 10 times, sending 10 messages to Tracker, creating 10 
tasks.
Granted, most apps do it one at a time (BeMail).
