A filesystem undo is most needed on servers. There usually is no KDE. However a trash can can be done with hard links and a cronjob. What I would like to have is more - I think I was not clear enough about that. I not only want to undo deletions. I would like to be able to undo all file system operations. VMS has a versioning file system, which does about what I want. It feels pretty good if you can undo "everything I did since 11:30".
