[plug] en_GB KDE "trash can"

[John Knight]

We can re-invent the term here if you lot want to. If we come up with a new 
and better term (hopefully something that's not associated with rubbish), I 
can run it by Thomas Diehl and see if he'll let us (he's the big German in 
charge of "i18n" for KDE).

Personally I'm in favour of changing the term all together as "trash can" 
gives me the *@#$s. Recycle Bin is a better term but I'm sure the majority 
of windoze users would want to escape terms like this if they could (why did 
I join the Linux movement in the first place?).

Get creative!
