I apologize for contradicting Ralf and you.  Since the location of 
the trash folders is kept secret by KDE (no mention in the manual or 
anywhere else), we actually *have* to find them ourselves.  My 
method is keeping the name of a file to be deleted and then 
performing 'find ~ -name <deleted_file>'.  If somebody knows an 
easier or more elegant way to find trash folders, I would be 
grateful if he let me know it.

Thanks in advance,
Wolfgang
