file => show trash should be go => trash also add trash to the toolbar

Being a frequently used location it would be nice if the trash directory was in the go menu and also on the toolbar. There are some implementation issues, namely that the trash directory is intimately linked to the file manager, so doing a simple fix through nautilus-shell-ui.xml and the associate callback function in nautilus-window-menus.c won't work so we have 2 options (i tried this and well the bugs are obvious, i just copied the code for start-here) 1. easy fix is to probably make it fm specific and only present when using icon or list view. should work though i haven't tested. 2. could possibly move the filemanagement part of nautilus to vfs, so that trash becomes a global vfs folder, which maybe cool since other people could write vfs file managers that get all the benefits of the nautilus backend...may be nice for file selectors too. solution #1 is probably a more like short term solution
I concur with moving this item to the Go menu, but not with placing it on the toolbar. On the toolbar it might be taken to mean "move selected items to the trash", and having a trash can showing in a bunch of windows would be ugly. ;-) Having the trash as a VFS method would probably be cool.
greg: about the icon on the toolbar, would it be acceptable to place it there if it was possible to drag and drop to the toolbar icon, to move stuff to the trash???

dupin the other way since that one is more inclusive of all issues. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 85661 ***
