I remember seeing something like this.

I am on edgy kubuntu, and i checked on my system, 
and the feature is not there (at the present).

But i remember seeing an entry in the environment 
( with "set | more" )
with a function named 'rm()'
who contains the code to move the specified files into trash.

However it is not present now when i check it.

Maybe it was there in the past and an upgrade removed it
by changing the initialisation script.

Do someone knows more about it ???
