A workaround is to assign user permissions in the fstab entry for the partition, eg:

/dev/sda2 /c ntfs defaults,umask=007,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 1

So perhaps the Ubuntu installer should do this by default for detected ntfs-3g drives?

Or alternatively, perhaps Nautilus should tell you *why* it can't move the files to trash, and explain that if you mount the partition in the above way you'll be able to move files to trash?
