comment in dlls/shell32/shlfileop.c says: "unimplemented and break if any
other flag set: FOF_ALLOWUNDO, FOF_WANTMAPPINGHANDLE".  FOF_ALLOWUNDO = 
0x40 is the flag that says to use the Recycle Bin,  if available.  Note 
that Windows itself doesn't use the recycle bin on network drives or 
removable disks.

Probably some extra logic could be added around line 1085 to issue a 
'rename' (or MoveFileEx) call in either of the following situations:

1.  The file is under the user's home directory;  move it to 
~/Desktop/Trash or ~/.gnome-desktop/Trash

2.  The file is on a VFAT partition;  move it to $(MOUNT_POINT)/Recycled

However,  the app in question is probably upset about something else,  and 
there are still some stub functions in that file,  so I doubt that a 
"correct Recycle Bin" is first-priority for the Wine team.
