Having done some investigating, I find that in 4 previous distros I have 
installed (all Lubuntu),
none has had root:root as owners of  ~/.local/share/Trash

Since the contents of the files directory in that folder in my current Debian 
install are files
that would originally have been in a sub-directory of a system directory, they 
would have had to 
be trashed from a sudo-invoked FM; it is at least possible that the trashing 
caused ownership
to change to root:root.

However...

Most of the files I trash are in my personal directories, in my data partition, 
and would (should)
end up in the /data/.Trash-1000  trash, which as you can see, is owned by me.

Unless Caja was trying to trash the files by copying them from the data 
partition to the system
partition trash folder, I cannot see how it had difficulty trashing them.

Can anyone enlighten me?
