This is a feature a really miss when I can't use KDE (at work I have to use Gnome and Windows).

An Ubuntu/Gnome user can emulate the KDE trash behavior using autotrash:

Just put the appropriate command in your crontab.

Something similar can be done also on Mac Os X using TrashTimer:

If you are wondering if it's something similar for MS Windows, look at:
