I think you want libtrash, from the description:
"libtrash is a shared library which, when preloaded,
implements a trash can under GNU/Linux. This way, your
mistakes (at least those of the "rm -rf dir /" class :-))
will no longer cause the loss of a week's work or your
system's binaries."
However, I believe it broke some stuff or misbehaved in other ways. I
can't remember exactly but Google can probably dig up som criticisms.
