I think Nautilus' behaviour is correct. The behaviour is by design, and
the "confirm_trash" option is doing what it is supposed to do: Request
confirmation for the non-revertable actions "Delete Trash" and "Delete
files", but not for the revertable "Move to trash".  And guys, please
stop speaking for "the users" - 10 vocal guys on a bug tracker don't
represent a majority of users.

That being said, I agree that a cluebar with an "Undo" button might be a
useful _enhancement_ to Nautilus.

But this whole discussion also has a downside. Nautilus is not the only
program which can move files to the trash, so that option would either
make the desktop more inconsistent, or it would have to be implemented
in all applications that can send files to the trash.

There might be another option: It's easy to monitor the trash, and act
upon trash-related events, no matter which application caused it (Python
code for having notification bubbles on trashing stuff would probably
not be longer than this very post). So this feature would maybe better
be implemented outside Nautilus.

Of course, there is already an application that does exactly this: The
trash applet. So one possible solution would be to provide an option to
make this one more noisy, and maybe provide a trashing-diary with undo
buttons.
