As far as I know, the current delete behavior is as follows:

Upon right-click, popup a menu presenting the three options (Delete, Shred, 
Move to Trash) or upon delete key, do as chosen by the user in kcontrol.

I'd like to propose a slight change, nothing major, but significant enough 
from the end users point of view.  

<new linux user>
What doees shred mean?
</new linux user>

The option in kcontrol as it is should remain there with a fourht option to 
ask the user.
The three options should be removed and merged into a single entry titled 
"remove file(s)".  It should then either automatically do as selected in 
kcontrol or pop up a little dialog asking the user what to do with an option 
to "never ask again".

This should shorten the length of the right-click popup menu by two entries 
and make it a little easier on first time users who don't need to know what 
shred means.

Troy
