I had a long and frustrating conflict with this, on this post.

As @d_k_bo@feddit.org (An dem Punkt könnten wir auch einfach Deutsch labern) noted, it's a freedesktop.org specification.

I still stand the point that it's not very thought through (a hidden dir? Why?), and that blindly implementing it is annoying. It shouldn't be a universal standard for all systems, as it's only relevant if you use a file manager which can then use that dir as Trash dir - which I don't. That could be tested by only allowing filemanagers to create the dir, and if it doesn't exist, discard the data. That's probably how some programs work, as only Prismlauncher has created the dir.

Workaround: ln -s .Trash-1000 /dev/null
