Description
In the context menu of Nautilus (and the Desktop which is imo a part of Nautilus) is only the option "Remove to Trash". But like many other distributions I'd like to have a "Delete" option, that will delete files without moving to the trash. This should be done of course with a "Do you really want to do this?"-question.
And also - like it was said already - it would be nice to have a Secure Delete that overwrites the erased file (Gutmann e.g.), like shredder.

I dont like this, too easy to press by mistake.

I don't support this as I have random spaz-outs where random GUI elements get molested, and I've been very glad that items go to the trash.
You can press CTRL+Del to delete files permanently.

No thanks. No delete-without-goto-trash-first.

Gutmann is unnecessary. With modern harddisks a single overwrite makes recovery so expensive, no data rescue enterprise offers it.
Otherwise:+1
