Put that in ~/Desktop/trash.desktop.

Remeber that desktop icons are just either ordinary files, or launchers/desktop files. That means a "link to URL" shurcut in KDE, with a KIO slave as the URL (like media:/ smb:/ ) will give you a nice desktop icon to that location, also with the right .jpg/.png as well.

For KDE 4.3 with Oxygen icons the code should probably look like this (it does on my system):

EmptyIcon=user-trash
Encoding=UTF-8
Icon=user-trash-full
Name=Trash

This code will make the name of the trash icon change according to your default locale.
For some reason the order in which all the key lines (the ones without language codes) are placed seems to be important. Changing this order seems to break the trash icon.

Good luck!
