[Bug 12893] Re: Shouldn't put .Trash-$USER on removable devices

Some ideas:

1) Does .Trash-desrt ever have a good purpose?
  - is created when files are not on same FS as homedir?
  - is it useful for something like /mnt/windows?
    - will this clutter up your c:\ drive?
  - maybe just never create this directory

2) Maybe don't create .Trash-desrt if the drive is on USB.

3) Maybe don't create .Trash-desrt if the drive is smaller than a certain size (2-3GB?)

4) Combination of 2&3 (so that USB harddrives still get it created).

The answer to what should be done probably lies somewhere in the above.
