Bug Description

Hi Andrew,
I suggest that you added the cleaner for trashes on removable disks.
The path to the Trash on these drives is /media/disk(-n)/Trash(-N), where "-n"= number of disk and the "-N"= UID (probably), eg. / media/disk/.Trash-1000 or / media/disk-2/.Trash
In these directories are directories "expunged", "files" and "info"

Good idea. The tricky part is, IIRC, different Linux distributions use different locations. For example, I used to have removable media in /mnt/floppy/. The next step would be to either survey Linux distributions to see what they use or write special code (not yet supported in CleanerML) to hunt it down by looking at the output of 'mount'.
