Package: kdesktop
Version: 4:3.5.9.dfsg.1-6
Severity: normal

When our users exceed their disk quota, they often fall victim of this
perculiar condition when KDE's trash can stops working properly.
They try to delete some files to clear up the disk space, and then
proceed to empty the trash can, which does not work, resulting
in a broken Trash can and the users still being over quota.

The reason it does not work is that KDE fails to write its meta
files into ~/.local/share/Trash/info/deleted_file.trashinfo.  
The .trashinfo file ends up truncated to zero size (because the 
user is over the disk quota), but KDE proceeds to still place 
the deleted file into ~/.local/share/Trash/files/.  Later, 
when a user right-clicks the trash can and selects 
"Empty trash bin", KDE reports that it 
"Could not read /path/to/deleted_file.trashinfo" and fails the
operation.  The user ends up with a trash can full of deleted 
data, which is not deletable in the normal way.  

Also, such trash can appears empty when double-clicking the
trash can icon on the desktop.

The workaround is to manually delete data from 
~/.local/share/Trash/files/.

I think that the expected behaviour for KDE would be to either:

  - fail to move the file into the Trash if it cannot
    write a proper .trashinfo file, or
  - offer to permanently delete the file instead, or
  - deal gracefully with the situation when the .trashinfo
    file is corrupted or missing.
