RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:

nautilus does not ask for confirmation when deleting files even if /apps/nautilus/preferences/confirm_trash is set. The confirmation dialog _is_ issued, though, when the trash is emptied. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

nautilus-2.28.4-2.el6.i686
The same is true for RHEL 5.5 in nautilus-2.16.2-7.el5

How reproducible:

always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set /apps/nautilus/preferences/confirm_trash to true 
2. delete file from nautilus
3.
  
Actual results:

no confirmation is required. File is moved to trash.

Expected results:

according to the description in gconf-editor (at least in de_DE), nautilus should ask for confirmation for both deleting files and emptying trash. 

Additional info:

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux major release.  Product Management has requested further
review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux Major release.  This request is not yet committed for
inclusion.

Are you sure this is a new feature and not a malfunction of nautilus? I was hoping we wouldn't have to wait for - what - RHEL 7 ?

Maybe the description of the gconf key is not 100% clear. What means is that you will get a confirmation dialog if you either empty the trash (as you've seen) or directly delete a file, using e.g Shift-Delete (which is different from moving it to the trash, using just Delete)
