You should not touch the custom_icon in your code, because that is like to crash when the info is released. > Unfortunately, the resulting icon launches the root (/) instead of the > trash (trash:///).

I'd suggest to use the org.xfce.Trash D-Bus interface, which is also used by the trash panel applet to communicate with the trash. You can check the code in plugins/thunar-tpa/, it's really straight forward and all the complicated stuff is handled in Thunar, so you don't need to duplicate all the necessary code in xfdesktop. > PS: Note that thunar_vfs_path_dup_uri(thunar_vfs_path_get_for_trash()) > returns trash:/// and > thunar_vfs_path_get_name(thunar_vfs_path_get_for_trash()) returns / > which perhaps explains the problem. Sure, because the name of every root node is "/".
