 Even if it would miss some mountpoints, I'd guess that at least 
having separate recycle bins for removable media and *most* of the 
partitions would be a good start. That way, only people who 
explicitly mount one drive into a folder on another would have to 
somehow tell GW about this, and for most others it'd just work.

 To put it another way: I support MJ Ray's proposal. Add a recycle 
bin for the disks you know about. If GWorkspace learns about more 
disks or mount points in the future, you'd already have the code and 
you'd just have to call the function that adds it to the list of 
recycle bins.
