This is a security, because emptying a trash is not an actions w/o consequences and the user can have asked to not beeing warned when deleting files. We use an "Don't ask me again" option so the window isn't shown anymore if this annoy the user. 

I think this is a usuability improvement.

On kiorc we have : 

[Confirmations]
ConfirmDelete=true
ConfirmTrash=true

One to ask or not when deleting files and one to ask or not when emptying the trash.
