Mac_v, Sebastien, Holger, I understand your point of view, and I partly agree with you : basically, I think the way Nautilus runs is good. Deleting files is possible without asking confirmation each time, and asking confirmation only before the real deletion is really fluent...

BUT, what makes me say that eventhough I like current Nautilus way of behaving, I'd prefer it to be changed is the discrepancy between Nautilus/Gnome and other major OS'es. Both Windows & MacOS ask confirmation before both file deletion and trash emptying. Most people expect a confirmation at this point. For better usability, we shall meet this expectation AND make this feature customizable so that people like you (and probably me) can deactivate the confirmation before file "move to trash".

Here's the way it's implemented in Vista : http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/window-on-windows/?p=595
