As far as I know, the answer to the first two questions is "as big as the available space on your hard drive" and "until you choose Empty Trash from the menu". There aren't many options for configuring the trash as far as I can tell, but I found these: 1. Konqueror: Settings > Configure Konqueror > Behaviour where you can configure whether items are deleted or moved to the trash. 2. On the desktop, right-click the Trash icon and choose Properties where you can rename it and set the icon. It also reveals that the trash is controlled by the hidden ~/Desktop/trash.desktop config file. The trash.desktop config file shows very little: [Desktop Entry] Comment=Contains removed files EmptyIcon=trashcan_empty Encoding=UTF-8 Icon=trashcan_full Name=Trash OnlyShowIn=KDE Type=Link URL=trash:/ The location of the trash is: ~/.local/share/Trash but you probably shouldn't mess with it, I'm not sure how resilient Konquorer is if you mess with the trash's internal structure. (Note: these are from an older version of KDE and may not apply to the latest versions of TDE.) -- Steven --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting
