Jim,
Please check the SLE archives or do some CLI forensic troubleshooting (a.k.a.
"poking around.")
I seem to recall something like this around the time that 10.0 came out. The
problem was the existence of two 'trash' directories (one KDE & one GNOME?)
The one linked to 'Move to trash' is /not/ the one displayed on your desktop,
so the 'other trash bin' is silently filling up. ;-)
hth & regards,
Carl
