Title:
nautilus doesn't delete files on USB sticks eject

Bug description:
Hi!
Nautilus, when working on files within connected USB memory stick /flash or
hardrive/, when a folder/file is selected and "delete" key pressed, files
aren't deleted but moved into hidden .trash directory- which isn't deleted when
drive is unmounted- also those "hidden" files occupy space on drive, which
isn't visible when you choose still visible files /just to know, how much space
is left etc/. that can cause a confusion /yes, i know you can manually delete
.trash folder from usb drive, but- why?/.
proposed solution? if device isn't locally connected /but is usb or esata
etc/ than files should be deleted permanently- i.e. user should get a warning
like "you are going to delete your files permanently. you won't be able to
recover them. continue? y/n".
also, those memory sticks should be connected with "sync" option- so manual
unmounting /i.e. with mouse, not via command/ them wouldn't be that necessary
/it would shorten the time for 'ejection' of disks mounted/.
bet regards
simon
