The Gnome people have marked this bug closed invalid on the reasoning
that control-t is "reversible", but:

- It's not reversible with "undo", because you can't undo a move-to-trash.
- It's not trivially reversible, because you can't ask the trash bin to sort 
things based on when-it-was-put-into-the-trash. 
- if you hit control-T and Nautilus has focus instead of your firefox or 
gnome-terminal windows, whatever is currently selected gets moved to the trash 
silently and, unless you know _exactly_ what's on your desktop and have some 
idea what might have just happened or what's missing, your data has effectively 
been disappeared.

There's a well-understood shortcut key in place for this functionality
already, the delete key.

Please, I beg, change this. Control-T deleting things silently and
randomly when no window has focus, as opposed to the opening tabs or new
terminals or just generally making new things-that-start-with-T
everywhere else in the application suite is insanity.
