Something else I found which may have some relation to the problem, looking at my system which did not have the problem, I found /usr/share/gnome/default session exists, while the system with the problem lacked this file. There is a man page "man default.session" but I'm not sure if this file should be necessary or not. In any event I think this needs to be looked into further, but I'm not sure who's attention it should be given to? Although this is/was not a major problem, I think an abundance of problems such as this is what turns many people away from Linux. I've spent several hours a day for a couple of weeks in order to resolve this and have several more problems which are primarily related to the OS installation. Below is the content of /usr/share/gnome/default.session from my system lacking the trash icon problem and sets the session to Gnome without my interaction.
# This is the default session that is launched if the user doesn't # already have a session. # The RestartCommand specifies the command to run from the $PATH. # The Priority determines the order in which the commands are started # (with Priority = 0 first) and defaults to 50. # The id provides a name that is unique within this file and passed to the # app as the client id which it must use to register with gnome-session. # The clients must be numbered from 0 to the value of num_clients - 1.
