BEntry::MoveToTrash() would not use the Tracker at all, and wouldn't
send any notifications either. It would just work as MoveTo() does,
with the exception of a fixed (depending on the volume the file is on)
target.
Tracker could just call it in the same way as it does MoveTo() -
however, if it turns out to be a performance issue, we can still do it
differently.
Anyway, you usually don't move 10000 files into the trash - if you do,
they are most likely part of only a few directories, and you only have
to move those into the trash, anyway.

If you had silently committed this, nobody would have ever noticed ;-)
However, this way, we have the opportunity to fix both apps!
