Description
Hi! I'm using Ubuntu 8.04, and I dislike the "recycle bin", and the way to delete files with delete/supr button.

Like said dr88dr88 in:
http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/60/

"We need the possibility to restore deleted files with a right mouse click in the trash bin in Gnome."

But too, a restore option in menu "file".

And one more thing, very important, a menu "tools" to configure the recycle bin. With:

* When select delete o push delete/supr button:
- Ask to send file/s & folder/s to the recycle bin.
- No ask nothing, and send directly file/s & folder/s to the recycle bin.

And the same with shift+delete/supr.

why? because is possible that persons like me, push accidentally delete/supr button, and you know, that in Ubuntu when you have got selected files or folders, if you push it, are deleted immediately without asking nothing.

New adds 13/7/8:

Included: Files with more of 15* days in recycle bin, will be deleted.
*You can change 5-10-15-20-30 days.

In Ubuntu, you don't know the time that the files can be in the recycle bin, ok, if you search in Internet YES, but we want to aproximate Ubuntu to every people, and is good, that the people have near the information.

Don't pay much attention to this point, because I really don't know the way to work of the recycle bin:
Recycle bin, no can be more big than 10% ¿of the total space?, ¿X GB? And if is necessary space to work, the recycle bin can deleted with our permission through of a message or no.
