deleting files from removable devices moves them to a hidden dir on the same device

[Alexander van Loon]

When I plug in my USB stick and delete some files, they disappear. But they
don't get deleted, they get moved to a hidden trash directory on the same USB
stick. Only when I delete that hidden dir, they are removed permanently.

Please fix this and move files which are deleted from a USB stick to the 'real'
trash.

Seb, is it possible to disable the trash on removable devices entirely? It does
not seem to make too much sense on them anyway.

Martin, that's a known issue, but somebody needs to come with a patch for it ...

But don't do it like Mac OS X does it.. :)
