OK. What do you mean under .desktop file? I could not find any [Tt]rash.desktop or[Tr]ashcan.desktop in my system. Or you mean the file/url link I made in my ~/Desktop folder which contains the link to trash:/? The latter. You should have a xxx.desktop file in your ~/Desktop folder describing the

This resulted in changing the icon to empty Trashcan even if it has some content. ??
I works fine here, it shows the full icon when things are in the trash can. But I'm using the file from that post I linked to now. That post states that the order of the lines seems to be important, so try to use exactly that too. It has "EmptyIcon" *before* "Icon".
But at least here on my system, it does look the same like the icons in the folderview. Did you change their appearance maybe?
They look different for me. Normal icon has white colored name without background, widget has black colored name with (ugly) background. Here is a screenshot:

My folderview icons (with the default settings) do look the same as your (and my) widget. Again, you probably changed the appearance of the icons in the folderview's settings (text color, changed to white, shadow deactivated). There is no way to configure the Trash widget in a similar way (it just uses the colors defined by the desktop theme). And AFAIK nobody ever asked for that either. As KDE4 is near the end of its life (and the desktop is in feature freeze since over a year already), this will not be added any more now as well. Maybe in Plasma 5... ;)
By the way, if I add a widget to the desktop it will be placed over (cover) existing icons. I consider this a bug. Icons and widgets should be placed to empty areas, not on top of other items.
For plasma there are no icons, only widgets. The "icons" are just some graphics that the folderview widget displays. And you can place widgets on top of each other. So, no bug, but a feature/design decision. Although normally plasma should try to create new widgets in empty areas, and it does unless there is no space or you move it yourself over an existing widget.
