I dont have the origanal message anymore to check, but i thought the thread 
was about a "user" deleting files, if that is correct then the above will not 
work as a normal user cannot write to /root (s) directory.

It is a good idea to do the same for root and users tho'.
On another note many distro's dont have a trash directory, so the need to 
create one arises as well.
