"The trash should not pulse as opening it is instantaneous and it does not have a 'running' state."
This is not truth. In my computer, sometimes it takes about 5 seconds to load (and in middletime, I click the icon again and then 2 windows open). And when nautilus window is open in trash "folder", we can consider that 'trash is running" (at least to common users).
Another point: consistency. When you click in an application icon, it pulses. When you click in a device icon, it pulses. Why trash don't?
Another thing: the same that was said here[1] is valid.
