[Michael Stumpfl <michael.stumpfl@xxxxxx>]

I am one of those who have been bugged by this problem for a number of
years.

Unsatisfied with the existing proposals, I've recently taken the time to
investigate a solution to this problem for myself.

As I want the Trash to be gone system-wide (not only in Nautilus), I've
found that -- for the time being -- the only real solution is to create
a custom-compiled version of `libgio' which is modified to call
g_file_delete() every time an application calls g_file_trash().

For all technical-savy users interested in this solution: I've just
recently posted a step-by-step guide on `The IT community':

%27s_Trash_in_Debian-based_distributions

I hope this is of (some) help to those who hate the Trash with the same
passion as I do ...

Title:
  No way to disable trash in nautilus

Status in Nautilus:
  Confirmed
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

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.
