OK, how about some preventative stuff. If there is not real way to

Anyone have something like this hanging around their system somewhere?

How about making sure you have a directory called ~/.Trash and then making a script like...

#!/bin/bash

mv $@ ~/.Trash

exit 0

And then... put this in ~/bin/rm

And then

alias rm="~/bin/rm"

to make sure you use that one

(Or make sure ~/bin is first in your path, or just call /home/user/bin/rm explicitly.)
