Well unless they rename it, the Recycle Bin will always be called the
Recycle Bin.. so have the luser look for _that_ not some icon.  Or tell
them to uninstall the theme for the time being.  Neither of which are all
_that_ hard.  Besides, if the user is too stupid to know which icon is the
recycle bin, I'm sure that the "guru" should tell them not to touch the
themes control panel (or just remove it which isn't too hard).
