That may be so. However, it's a Free world, and we should have a right to
delete without confirmation if we wish. I don't mind that practically
every app asks me for confirmation _once_, but most KDE apps let me check
the box that tells it never to ask again - and since my trash basket (which
I practically never use) deletes without confirmation, I guess I checked
that box...

Horse puckey. Good interfaces prevent _illegal_ actions, and help prevent
newbies from stupid actions, but they never discourage experienced users
from doing things more efficiently.

If you're going to do that, and you're already using KDE, you might as well
just use Shift-Delete (instead of Delete), which bypasses the trash can,
and _definitely_ has a "delete without confirmation" option.
