Bug Description

If a file has been copied from a remote source or external file system which is then unmounted, a ctrl-Z in Caja will delete the file with no prompt for confirmation.

To reproduce:

1. Copy file from a remote drive.
2. Unmount drive.
3. Press ctrl-Z or select Edit->Undo.

An irreversible undo should either be ignored or ask for confirmation. If the original file has been removed from the external media (or if it was only transient on that file system), then it's gone forever with no options for recovery.
