Make sure the file is trashable before offering to move to Trash (2.06 KB, patch)

Description Bill Nottingham 2004-10-04 16:26:15 UTC 
Create, say, a dangling symlink in the root directory.

Double click on it:

  The link is broken, move to Trash?

   <accept>

   Cannot move file to trash, delete immediately?

   <accept>

   Error while deleting (no permissions to modify /)

The permissions check could theoretically be done much earlier, avoiding the
dialog cascade.

Still an issue, updating version to 2.13.
