So it's a bit harder to permanently remove files. That's *good* as it is an 
unrecoverable action, and if deleting files is too easy, it's too easy to lose 
unreplaceble images. 

And if you are sure you want to delete images, use <shift>-<del>, which 
bypasses the thrash and removes the files immediately.
