Thank you for your patience Brendan. I created a new user account 'guest' and password. When I log in under this account both the Unity desktop AND the Trash bin appear. But... there is NOTHING in the trash bin. I will raise a separate bug on Unity not appearing if you think it's necessary, based on your reply. I don't understand WHY any of this sort of stuff happens when I upgrade every 6 months. Perhaps I just don't know how to answer the questions ('... keep or discard...' that sort of thing) that come up during the install. Maybe this is where the problem lies. But.. I didn't notice the Trash bin wasn't working for several months, until I decided to do some serious housekeeping.
