If you run konqueror as root it will put it in root's trashcan. I hope you don't mean all users should work with one global trashcan
Having to play detective to find what occasionally really happens to a simple delete is not an indicator of a proper design, instead it points to a major KISS violation.
As far as I know, it's the way all major desktops work The proper design of the trashcan should allow a particular user to remove *all* the deleted files during his/her session. It might be as simple as putting all the deleted files -even the ones deleted as an su- into the local trash bin!
Certainly not! You have some miss-conceptions that are not correct in a true multiuser system as Linux is. When you do "su", you effectively become another user for (almost) all intents and purposes. You did "su" to root to run konkeror, so konkeror _HAD_ to use the root settings, not yours, and thus, deleted files had to go to the root user trash folder, not yours, because the deleted file was not yours. Konkeror did exactly as it should. However, if konkeror used a system configured trash directory, with one subdirectory there for each user (kind of /Trash/user/*), then those space eaters would be easier to locate. I never use konkeror as root, I use mc - text mode, very powerful, and fast. It has a feature to see directory sizes, for example. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFDwXV5tTMYHG2NR9URAjWGAJ0a5U2pxM2uuGvl0lwuj7hroIGYpwCfSMcS tT16LbY+KvYWUG8LKTal9vY= =7kgZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
