Yeah, backup files that get deleted by the backup cleaning process
shouldn't be moved to the freedesktop trash can. And the same applies
to the thousands of cached news articles that get expired when I clean
the gnus agent cache.
I'm pretty sure, there are many more exceptions, like all the png files
that get deleted when I clean my doc-view cache...
IMO, moving files to the trash can should be done only if a user does it
interactively in dired or by invoking things like delete-file directly.
On the other hand, when I do M-x gnus-agent-expire it is also an
interactive call, but there I don't want to move the cached files to the
trash...
Bye,
Tassilo
