Once nautilus has been ported from gnome-vfs to gio, will nautilus deletions end up in .local/ ?
Am I correct in saying that porting the deletion code in the various apps to gio would solve this issue?
Will we need to port these apps anyway if nautilus-gio uses .local/ ?

Is the solution as simple as these 3 steps?
1) Identify which gnome apps can delete files.
2) Port the relevant deletion code from gnome-vfs to gio.
3) Intelligently migrate .Trash/ to .local/
