disappearing trash can
At some point after I installed 6.0, I accidentally deleted the trash can icon on the desktop.
I has since been replaced, somehow, in my home desktop folder, but isn't visible on the desktop itself, so if I want to restore anything I've sent to trash, or delete the contents, I have to open up the desktop folder.
Not one of the bigger problems people have, but it would be nice to see the icon again on the desktop.
Any suggestions?

6.0, any version, don't have the trash can on the desktop. You can add it as an Applet to your Panel as I have been doing.
