Well, I disagree to that. I guess that different users have different 
requirements. My use of a network recycle bin is NOT as a kind of filesystem 
garbage collection, but as an "ohmygod" safety net for users. Only for files 
delete through user interaction.

But I agree that the "veto recycle" option would be very useful. Especially 
since it will be difficult (impossible?) for Samba to discover whether a 
file deletion is through user interaction or not.
