Bug Description
This is a similar 'bug' to #12893 but what I think there should be is a check-box in the nautilus configuration that just says 'Disable the trash and delete files immediately'
I realize you can shift delete, but there should be a way to just disable the trash all together. You can do this in both windows and OSX so there is no reason it shouldn't be possible in Linux.
I believe the ideal situation would be the nautilus configuration as it is now with two additional check-boxes:
1. Disable the trash and delete files immediately.
2. Disable the trash for removable media and delete files immediately.
Option two check-box would get greyed out when option 1 was checked.

Thank you for your report. Have a look at the following gconf key : apps/nautilus/ preferences/ enable_ delete , it should do what you want. After that, it's a matter of UI.
