My 3 year-old has enjoys dragging file icons around to new places.
When I realized this, I told her they had to stay inside windows, and
she has been very good about this.  However, I worry about something
getting dragged to the trash.  At the moment I always hide the
trashcan behind something before letting her on ("Why are you moving
the trashcan?" "Nevermind, just don't do it yourself"), but I would be
a lot less nervous with more security.  So...

Does anyone know how I could write-protect the trash can (or otherwise
protect the system from getting files deleted) ?

thanks,
