Hi. With my minimalist Fluxbox/Thunar setup, gvfs Trash works perfectly when I delete stuff from my Home folder. However when I delete stuff from the tmp folder, it is 'deleted' only to the point that it is moved to the hidden .trash folder - the 'deletion' isn't shown 'graphically' in the Trash-can, so trying to 'empty' it has no effect on the .trash folders contents. My limited reading of gvfs's Trash-working stated that all partitions were scanned for the hidden .trash folders, and I presume 'tmp' being just a folder on a partition is a special-case and is also checked, but the tmp folder is not being picked up on my setup - is this normal?
Also, normally the tmp folder size is limited only by the free space available on the partition with all the other Linux distro's I've used, whereas with Arch, my tmp folder is limited to a puny 120meg - from an admittedly equally-puny 3gig VirtualBox'ed Arch - how is this limiting achieved, and can it be adjusted?

Sure it can be adjusted, it's half your RAM by default. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fstab#tmpfs Adjusting your fstab should make the changes permanent.
/tmp is cleared on reboot, so you don't really have to delete its contents yourself.
