I think this change is a consequence of the KDE implementation of the trash specification from freedesktop.org: http://www.ramendik.ru/docs/trashspec.html Everyone who implements the trash specification (GNOME is another candidate) must be able to find your trash. I guess that's why KDE cannot afford any more to provide a user-customizable setting that would be KDE-specific (and a violation of the standard). You can influence the location indirectly by setting certain environment variables, though: http://www.freedesktop.org/Standards/basedir-spec Make sure any other implementors of the freedesktop standards see the same environment vars or chaos will ensue, I guess. if you really need to change them. I wouldn't... Christian.
