@kikl: the trash bin is not the same as an undo. Even if it provides the
same functionality, it is by far much more complex to use than a single
key-press (Ctrl-z).

Also last time I checked the trash bin didn't have a way to restore
files to the same place they were deleted (like Windows trash bin does).

Compare these two workflows:

- user presses Del key by mistake. Files are moved to trash.
- open the trash bin.
- remember which files where selected when the mistake was made, and find them 
in the trash bin.
- select files.
- move the deleted files back to the folder (supposing the user did notice the 
mistake and didn't close the window)

vs
- user presses Del key by mistake. Files are moved to trash, and a prominent 
but unobtrusive message notifies the operation.
- user presses Undo. The files are restored.

Undo function Just Works(tm). It can be safely ignored in normal
workflow, but it's just one click away when you notice you've made an
error.
