What Linux distribution are you using?

Have you tried opening the trash and restoring them?

If you right click the file(s) in the trash, there should be a 'restore' option you can select. This will put the file(s) back to the original location.

In case anyone runs across this thread searching for an Ubuntu linux utility for recovering (Undelete) files from the trash.

Try Magic Rescue in Synaptic.
