Normally, the user will be prompted when deleting directly (I can't 
remember if one is normally prompted before moving to the wastebin as 
well, as I've disabled it and remapped the shortcut to actually delete 
when I hit delete).

If the file system is not a journaling one, there may be some hope. 
e2undel and recover are two programs that come to mind for ext2 systems 
(check /etc/fstab to see what file system is used if you are unsure). 
If, however, it is an Ext3 system or Reiser, there is not much hope.
