Oops... yes, how could I think so. Shame on me.

Well, wasn't really my own idea either. ;-)
I think copy on write filesystems are available (knoppix CD etc.), don't know if they have undelete. Some of googles "linux filesystem undelete" hits look interesting however.

If a simple "trashbin folder" approach is implemented but no enhenced desktop-trashbin-system yet. All I can say is if someone wants to put an effort into this I would choose the prospective approach. Maybe first undelete in ext2/3 or reiser, maybe not too bad.

I allways thought for proprietary OS's and FS's only their respective "owners" are resposible, no? And the best approach gets chosen in Free Software. I guess if undelete gets supported all distributions would use it as default in notime. Exept of course some real stable woods ;-)
