The desktop trashcan icon doesn't represent a real folder...it represents
the union of the Trash folders of all the mounted volumes (even if "all the
mounted volumes" is one volume). Since the icon doesn't represent a real
folder, it would not surprise me to learn that one can't attach folder
actions to it.
You *might* succeed by making all the trash folders visible, opening them,
and attaching folder actions to each. On the other hand, you might find
the result visually "mildly annoying."
I don't know whether Folder Actions Plus is willing to put a folder action
on each of the actual (invisible) Trash folders, or not.
