Error message with KDE 2.2.1 trash (Help).

I have had a copy of source that I was trying to compile (see: PDF files won't open.) that I was trying to dish in my trash because I keept getting an error message: Access denied to /KDesktop/Trash/gimp-print-4.3.0/lib/.deps/vasprintf.Plo I did an rm -r /home/brian/KDesktop/Trash/ to get rid of the junk in my Trash and my trash directory disapeared from the desktop. I created a new trash directory but things are going haywire. The trash doesn't seem to work properly and I ended up with a Trash.directory file on my Desktop. What do I do to get things working correctly again? I am using SuSE 7.3 Pro and KDE 2.2.1. Cheers, Brian
