  Shouldn't put .Trash-$USER on removable devices

Bug description:
  I'm sick and tired of finding that my digital camera card is full after deleting
  all the pictures, and my iAudio still plays deleted files.

  This is because instead of deleting files from removal devices, Nautilus creates
  a .Trash-$USER directory and moves the files into there.

  Can we please make the default be to _not_ do this?  It makes (some) sense for
  the main drive, but removable ones tend to be "temporary" storage.  A better
  alternative would be to remove the files from the removable device and into the
  user's home directory .Trash
