i have some questions and a problem
Q1: how can i put shortcut to trash on a desktop?
Q2: it is possible to drag&drop to shortcut from Q1?
Q3: when i'm inserting a DVD it's automatically mounted and icon appears on a desktop. When i connect usb disk on key, it's mounted (and thunar is opened) but there's no icon on the desktop. How can i make it appear?
P1: Settings->File manager gives the following error: Either the Xfce File Manager was not build with support for D-BUS, or the D-BUS service was not installed properly.
Should i start dbus myself, i saw several threads on the forum but not a definite solution.
Thanks!!!

1 > I seem to have gotten a Trash icon on my PC @work; but it disappeared @home; I'll see if I can find out how to get it back
P1 > Same problem here; manually starting dbus doesn't even work; neither does embedding dbus-launch in my .xinitrc

The following .xinitrc solves my problems with #1, #3 and P2:
#!/bin/sh
if test x"$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" = x""; then
dbuslaunch=`which dbus-launch`
if test x"$dbuslaunch" != x"" -a x"$dbuslaunch" != x"no"; then
eval `$dbuslaunch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session`
fi
fi
xfcesm=`which xfce4-session`
case "x$xfcesm" in
x|xno*)
;;
*)
$xfcesm
esac

1 now works indeed; thanks! P1 is also fixed now
2 -> It works; but d&d performs a copy when done from the filemanager :X Performing D&D from the desktop to the desktop-trash-icon works fine however!

I see that .xinitrc starts xfce4-session. What if i'm starting it from kdm/gdm/xdm? Does it still needs to be there?

I think, think, the only way to do that is to put the script above in a file of its own along with 'exec xfce4-session' at the bottom. Then in the xfce.desktop file alter the 'Exec= line to be exec=/path/to/xfcestartup/script' . Then again there could be an easier way to do it.

I changed the .xinitrc as suggested. Now disk on key is mounted and icon appears. However the problem with trash persists - there's no trash icon on desktop, trash applet says "failed to connect to trash - unable to determine the address of message bus"
Any suggestions?

settings manager-->desktop-->allow xfce to manage the desktop

removing ~/.config/xfce4* and ~/.xfce4 solved the trash problem, i had to reconfigure all though..
