A note should be tagged on to the end of libtrash in the .install:

To enable libtrash, give users permission to execute /etc/profile.d/libtrash.sh.

To enable libtrash for all users: chmod a+x /etc/profile.d/libtrash.sh


Or something along those lines. That makes it clean that libtrash is disabled until you give permissions to /etc/profile.d/libtrash.sh
(application/octet-stream)    libtrash.install (0.5 KiB)
(application/octet-stream)    libtrash.install (0.6 KiB)
   libtrash-new.tar.gz (1.3 KiB)
This task depends upon

Okay this is serious: Giving root execute permissions of /etc/profile.d/libtrash.sh will make fakeroot not work properly and root will not be able to open windows in X. chmod a+x is a bad idea. I have a new idea that will work properly. I will attach the libtrash.install

The attatched libtrash.install adds the group 'trash'. Only users in group 'trash' will use the trashcan. That will prevent root from using trashcan, and fakeroot and X messing up.

I uploaded a libtrash.install file. This adds the "trash" group, and only users in the "trash" group will be use the trashcan. A note should also be added like so: "Warning: Do not add the root user to the trash group"

Hmm... Still having problems... I think I'm going to have to find a better solution than groups and /etc/profile.d/. I'll keep thinking and testing

I found the problem. Fakeroot will not work with libtrash is in the fakeroot preload. So I made a warning in the .install file. I also made two scripts, trashon and trashoff that will toggle the trashcan. I've uploaded all the new files, they are uploaded as "libtrash-new.tar.gz". Feel free to test and release asap :D
