One of the things that I really hate about Windows is the Trash can.
When I say delete, I want it gone - forever. On windows I can set it up
so that delete means delete. How do I do that with Ubuntu?
Oh, and by the way, why is the 'empty the wastebasket' always greyed out
in the panel, and only available when the application is open?
And why does the documentation call it Trash, but the application calls
it wastebasket?
Thanks,

My thanks to everyone who answered. I'd still like to rid myself of the
wastebasket (aka Trash, aka Garbage) entirely, but the solutions offered
work well enough.
It's a real pain that those of us who like computers to do what we tell
them, and hate them saying 'did you really mean that?' can't have a
proper offensive to wipe out this insurgent behaviour. :-)
Why would any designer of software put the options for the wastebasket
in the file browser? Someone needs a course in software design methinks.
But I shall subscribe to a GNOME group and moan there!
