(Get the code!)
This thing is completely broken. At one point it made a .Trash-1000 folder on my usb stick (with files and info folders inside), but still moved it across partitions. I can't reproduce that exact behaviour again unfortunately, it doesn't make the .Trash-1000 folder and still moves across partitions.
This is definitely a bug. KDE refuses to make or use (if already there) a partition's Trash folder when the partition in question is a 100% user writeable FAT32.
Think if a user wanted to trash 20GB from a USB HDD on a old computer with USB1.1 and has only 5 GB of free space in $HOME. If KDE refuses to make a .Trash folder because of this bug it should inform the user that a sane trash operation can't be performed the way it is expected and defined by the Freedesktop spec with a dialog box with the options of Continue, Delete permanently and Cancel instead of defaulting to wasting an hour of the USB1.1 users time. Even with USB2.0 the lack of free space point still stands.
