Jordan,
If you right click on the trash can, and select Properties, you can look
at the third tab (Icon). There is a box at the bottom labeled "Extras"
which contains a control called "Lock in Place". If this is checked,
the Trash Can cannot be moved within its folder (the Desktop, I think),
and is not moved when the desktop is rearranged.

On one of my systems, the box is "X'ed", and on the other, it is not.
