Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-applets
A user can in Ubuntu delete files in different ways:
1) Press „Del“: Delete file to trash (restoration possible)
2) Press „Del“ + „Shift“: Delete file, don't store in trash (with tools restoration possible)

This would enhance Ubuntu's data privacy.
