Sorry, I guess I'm being dense here, but why should Trash be hidden?
I'm not contesting the idea of getting it off the desktop, but hiding it
completely seems wrong. Isn't the point of having it visible is that
it makes it easy to recover from accidental deletion?
And are you suggesting that each volume's Trash shows only the items from
that volume, rather than all items as now?
One feature that *would* be nice is some way of displaying a Trashed file's
original location, so you'd know where Restore would send it. (Sometimes
there are several similar files in the Trash.)
