I'd go to a shel and use the rm command to remove the files.
Apps->Utilities->Terminal
then cd .Trash
rm -r *
rm .*

When you say it locks, do you get a pin-wheel or a kernel panic where you get a message on your screen saying the system has crashed?

Can't help you much but would appreciate a cleaner answer from anyone else who's had this problem.

This happened to me on two computers I upgraded to 10.4.8. I managed to restore one to the proper state by doing an archive/ install. But that didn't work on the other one. On the second one I'm afraid I have to save my files, and do a reinitialize of the HD --- then a new install.

I called AppleCare on both (a few weeks ago) and they couldn't figure it out (except for suggesting running disk utility --- which didn't help --- and the archive/install --- which only helped on one).
