#8041: Sugar lacks a "Trash/Recycle bin" system

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]
