The bug is still present on a fresh install of ubuntu 11.10

If I delete a file or a folder on my USB key he reappears in the folder /media/KAOKEY/.Trash-1000/files/
If I retry to delete him directly from the  .Trash-1000 he reappears with a news extenstion, file.txt becomes file.2.txt. It's endless.

Only a "rm -r" or a shift+suppr erase finaly the files.

It's very confusing for new users.
Kind regards

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

Status in Nautilus:
  Fix Released
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in Baltix GNU/Linux:
  New
Status in “nautilus” package in Debian:
  Fix Released

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
