I can't reproduce it, but there is a bug filed upstream about this so I'll link the two.

Can anybody provide the feedback upstream requested?

Ubuntu KDE 4.2.2
As previously stated, after adding Trash can plasma widget to the desktop panel.
Upon double clicking the Trash Can, an error message appears ( exactly as the jpg attached Sayak Banerjee wrote on 2008-11-20 ) stating error "Malformed URL trash:/"
Consistently. It has never worked for me.
1 month old KDE & Ubuntu 8.10 install from scratch.

Any ideas on how to point the trash can to the correct directory ?

Please upgrade to Kubuntu Jaunty.

Also, no developer was able to reproduce this isse so far. Thus upstream (see KDE bug report) indicated it might be a compability issue, since it is not appearing in clean accounts (even though that would be weird due to the newness of your setup).

Yet I can only think of 2 possible points of failure:
* compability issue
* incomplete upgrade of the KDE stack causing an incompability between the trash kioslave and kdelibs making the former unusable in that combination

Both of which are support issues, so I strongly urge you to get support http://www.kubuntu.org/support before reopen this bug.

Thank you very much.
