Concerning the 'single' trashcan on workbench under discussion...

...what kind of behavior should be exhibited when a file protected from
deletion is dropped on the trashcan?

I say the file should be moved into the trashcan directory as if it were
not protected but it's protection bit should be preserved so empty trash
cannot empty it.  It should be moveable out of the trashcan also if grabbed
as an icon.  In other words, move files into and out of trashcan despite
the protection bits if grabbed as an icon but preserve the protection
bits.  Don't allow the move if tried from the CLI if 'undeleteable' is
set, however.
