perhaps one can write some simple scripts to implement this.. I don't know if a script could be attached to the nautilus del function. But - if such a script works well, the gnome team may be motivated to integrate it into naulitus, or we've to integrate it on our own .. it's open source :( but I'm not very well in C by now..

Simply - when deleting a file /home/user/myfile.txt it's moved to /home/user/.trash/myfile.txt - wouldn't it be easy to append a line to /home/user/.trash/.origin

"myfile.txt: /home/user/.trash/myfile.txt".

Nautilus then could provide an undelete function in the trash-folder which reads that .origin file and move the file back to it's old place.
