Do YOU want the Trash back on the Desktop?

[Gambit]

Indeed. But how come they all wanted that?
When I complain about something Id like to have
a good or semigood reason for objecting.....usually

I think it's the age-old resistance to change that we all suffer in varying quantities. I even have to admit being one of the 'put it back on the desktop' throng when X was first released. Now, Cmd-delete and Cmd-E are the norm for me.

I've even turned off local hard discs appearing on the DT, so if I'm not currently working on something, my DT is completely empty. There's something comforting about that..

Yes.

I'm trying to live a "dockless" life, so having the trash on the desktop would pretty much do it. Wastebasket is slow since it is an AppleScript and is bug-riddled, and I refuse to pay $6.95 for Trash X.

I'd like to see an option, so users can decide whether it stays on dock or on desktop. But that's not a big issue for me, as I use keyboard shortcuts instead of drag & drop to trash.

However, what I would like to see, is trash giving the feedback it used to re: no. of items in trash, & total size of what you are about to delete (which you could bypass with a different keystroke combo).

open the trash, and click "view" and then "show toolbar" it shows the number of items.

What Desktop? I disabled it using TinkerTool!

The easily-hidden desktop sucks and always has sucked. I stopped using it well before Mac OS X and accessed my volumes using Now Menus.

I agree. I only have one folder on the desktop and that one doesn't even show as it is covered with DeskShade.

It's silly, but having everything in the dock, including the trash, makes me feel young again. It's colourful and makes me feel good when I'm working.

The only good thing about the trash in OS9 and below was 'Oscar the Grouch'!
