It's bad enough when things are filesystem-dependent but this is
OS-dependent or even desktop-version-dependent in the case of Linux
distros, so not easy.

E.g. in the case of KDE4, the command-line is:
$ kioclient move <filename> trash:/

...and for KDE3 it was:
$ kfmclient  move <filename> trash:/
