--- Comment #1 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
That's because that particular trash is actually a Desktop file, which is just
a text file that gets interpreted to mimic a trash. So technically, it's
correct for the context menu to show a bunch of file-related actions. However
this is obviously a somewhat odd user experience.
We actually already have a better user experience for "trash-on-the-desktop":
add the "Trashcan" widget to the desktop. This widget has all the same
functionality as well as a more appropriate trash-specific context menu.
Maybe we should have Plasma intelligently sense when a user is trying to add
the trash to the desktop in a way that would create a desktop file for it, and
instead create a new Trashcan widget.
