($user should be $USER in that last line ... but I'm skeptical of that
suggestion having the correct effect, because I can see the Trash on
my desktop without having a trash.desktop file present in the Desktop
directory.)
Misc. things that come to mind ...
It's possible to rename the Trash icon. Are you sure it's not there
and just called something else?
In gconf-editor, did you try toggling trash-icon-visible to off,
saving, then toggling back to on and saving again?
Install the "cog" package (available from rpmforge) and look at the
"Nautilus" tab. Try toggling the trash icon option from there.
