Go to desktop and right click

create new link to URL

Enter a name like My trash and URL = trash:/

 

enjoy :D

Thanks man !

 

Only today switched to KDE from Gnome, it is whole new world...

 

Does konqueror have a 'empty trash' command (trash applet has it) ? Can't find it anywhere, hope i'm not blind...

For me I just right click my Wastebin on the desktop and choose empty wastebin.

 

In case it's not working correctly, here is the contents of my trash.desktop file for my wastebin:

 

[ian@esprit ~]$ pwd
/home/ian
[ian@esprit ~]$ cat Desktop/trash.desktop

First command just shows you where I was in the directory tree. The second then looks at my Desktop/trash.desktop file.

 

If yours doesn't work, delete the one you created on the desktop, and then save the contents of the above minus the commands to make your trash.desktop file in the /home/username/Desktop/trash.desktop file.

[Gowator]

you can also add an applet ...(on the taskbar click empty space and just right click for add applet to panel... obviously choose the trash one

and you can create a shortcut from the applet for trash...

Now everythig is OK. Thank you Gowator and ianw1974 !
