Hi Menachem,

digikam 0.9 or 0.8.2 does not matter because they use the
trash support from kdebase.

 I've create a fresh default ubuntu edgy
installation, and aptitude install'ed digikam, and Pictures I deleted
in digikam ended up in ~/.local/share/Trash (that did not
exists before I started digikam.

Maybe the protection of ~/.local is wrong so kio_trash
can't create it?

Nevertheless creating a soft link

    ln -s ~/.Trash ~/.local/share/Trash

should fix your problem (tested here works fine.
Gnome trash gets the counting wrong from because it
does not understand the XDG draft but that's cosmetic.)

Anyway. The hole stuff is not a bug in digikam. digikam
uses trash kio slave (as all conformant KDE apps should to).
So running GNOME apps in KDE desktop or vice versa
would have the problem

The kio_trash implements the XDG trash standard currently at http://www.ramendik.ru/docs/trashspec.html. This draft is
referenced at http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Standards.

I'll ping the kubuntu/ubuntu core devs what they think,
as a real fix has impact on the hole Desktop environment.
