Bug description:
  It would be good to have an expire kind of option for the Trash
  folders in [K]ubuntu.

  In the current mode, the Trash folder is useless. Users will either do a 
Shift + Delete or Delete + Empty Trash.
  If an expiry option is provided, it'll help a lot.

  An example:
  I use the laptop running Kubuntu. I take backups almost daily onto an 
external HDD. If I go with the current mode, when I delete, I do:
  * Shift + Delete or
  * Delete + Empty Trash.

  In both cases a backup of the data is no more available.

  If you implement the feature I'm requesting for, I'd do it in the following 
way.
  * Set Trash Item Expire to 15 days.
  * Throw unneeded items to Trash and forget.
  * In 1-2 days, they'd get backed-up to my external HDD
  * On the 15th day, they'd be _deleted_

  Whoops......... I need that data back.

  No problem. I still must be having it in my backup HDD.

  Please, add this feature.
