Yes, in both Linux and Windows, I've got used to hitting shift-delete, return, when I want to delete a file. And yes, at times I've done that only to immediately realise I'd got the wrong file. I think GMail has this right: instead of a confirmation, it does what you asked for, and has an obvious non-modal undo button. Also, because I know things in the trash will be discarded after 30 days, I don't feel any pressure to 'really delete' them myself.
