If you have a trash window open, and it is already focussed, you might not notice- especially if you have a lot of Nautilus windows open at once (or you are just being scatterbrained, which it is so easy to be when handling a lot of information on a computer).

The proposed plan would mean that the trash button does nothing if the trash window is already in focus. You wouldn't think pressing the button had done anything at all, and might think that it is broken, for a moment. Maybe pressing the button could also highlight the window in some way? (But only when the window is already in focus?)

It seems bad for a piece of interface to on occasion do nothing whatsoever.
