This isn't entirely accurate - Samba actually has a VFS Recycle module that
intercepts the delete calls and moves the files to a folder, with several
configurable options. I've used it in the past with great success - it
tends to be a good supplement to both good, solid backups, and filesystem
snapshots.

How they accomplish the custom icons, I'm not entirely sure.
