AmaroK on gnome

[AvgUser]

Running Ubuntu Hardy (with all the latest updates as of this post) and this issue Still apparently exists. I did see where you can config the del shortcut manually, however this was not for the Amarok player and I must be overlooking the config file to accomplish this task (not listed in any of the "shortcut" options. If I configure [manage files/delete file...] to "delete files instead of moving to the trash" everything is fine, however there is no going back. Choosing to send files to the trash brings up the old "Could not start process Unable to create io-slave: klauncher said: Unknown protocol 'trash'." dialogue.

Now, I understand this is developed as a KDE app, but there are a LOT of people using this on Gnome. Where can a person really alter this behavior and actually use the "trash" on Ubuntu's Gnome based OS? I would be happy to document the process for newbies, I just need to be able to accomplish the task before documenting...

Is there a Solution yet?

kdebase-kio-plugins has the trash io-slave. This will however use the freedesktop trash standard (that supports trash restoring), but Gnome doesn't support it. So you'd have to use Konqueror or Thunar to empty your trash.
