Mockup: trash displayed when not empty
SUMMARY
I just got a wild idea... how about adding the trash to the system tray
elements ?
That would make it always accessible, it can be made visible only when there is
something in the trash.
Somehow, I never thought about it before, but now it feels so natural to have
it there!
Please see mockup images:

- systray-grid.png

Here is the little story that led me there:
I wanted to find a way to have easy access to my trashbin.
I was not happy to have it on the desktop for several reasons:
- I rarely see my desktop, there's always some kind of window on it for some
reason...
- Using the widget is not an option as I use the Folder view for my desktop,
meaning icons will overlap the widget... (see why-desktop-widget-sucks.png)
- Using a .desktop element is not an elegant way either as the "Empty trash"
option available on right click is totally drown under all the other menu
elements (and just below options to delete the very icon, using the same kind
of icon, so that's not mis-click proof... (see why-desktop-icon-sucks.png)
- I'm not using a dock or anything, just the regular vanilla panel.
