 Dozens of times I've salvaged important items that I deleted, because they
 went by default to the Trash. Sugar being an environment where kids are
 encouraged to try everything because they have a Undo safety net, means
 that it really needs to have a Trash system.

 I don't know how UI-wise this could work, but I have a few questions
 regarding how this Trash should work:[[BR]]
   * Auto-delete its contents after 1 boot?
   * Auto-delete its contents after a few boots?
   * Auto-delete its contents when the Nand fills up to some threshold, but
 lower than the one which warns the user to free up some space? [this
 option has my vote]
   * Should the auto-deletion, delete all of the Trash contents?
   * Or just delete the necessary older ones to free enough space and keep
 the filled Nand bellow the mentioned threshold? [this one has my vote too]
