        The handling of trashed files has been changed in GIO, compared
        to gnome-vfs. gnome-vfs has a home-grown trash implementation that 
        predates the freedesktop.org Desktop Trash Can specification
        that is implemented in GIO. The location for storing trashed files 
        has changed from $HOME/.Trash to 
        $HOME/.local/share/Trash (or more correctly
        $XDG_DATA_HOME/Trash), which means that 
        there is a need for migrating files that have been trashed by 
        gnome-vfs to the new location.
      
        In gnome-vfs, the trash:// scheme offering a 
        merged view of all trash directories was implemented in nautilus,
        and trash-handling applications had to find and monitor all trash 
        directories themselves. With GIO, the trash://
        implementation has been moved to gvfs and applications can simply
        monitor that location:

        GIO exposes some useful metadata about trashed files. There are
        trash::orig-path and trash::deletion-date attributes. The 
        standard::icon attribute of the trash:// 
        itself provides a suitable icon for displaying the trash can on 
        the desktop. If you are using this icon, make sure to monitor
        this attribute for changes, since the icon may be updated to
        reflect that state of the trash can.
      
        Moving a file to the trash is much simpler with GIO. Instead of
        using gnome_vfs_find_directory() with GNOME_VFS_DIRECTORY_KIND_TRASH 
        to find out where to move the trashed file, just use the g_file_trash()
        function.
