Sorry. It was meant as a sarcastic remark (and as such rather
inconstructive, I apologize) towards those who want to impose whatever
inconsistent idea Windows has come up upon the rest of us.

"Move-when-in-same file system, copy-when-across filesystems for drag
and drop" is just another such case, which might be marginally defended
on Windows (they have drive letters, after all) and becomes outright
dangerous on Unixen.

As a personal note, I am very happy without any trashcan. On the
contrary: I dropped Gnome because it was accreting far too many gimmicks
of this kind.
