I'm liking the 0300 perm for the directory. 
They would have to no the name of the file to
delete.  I'm assuming your users are just as smart 
as mine are and have no clue about anything. 
So this would be ok.

For example
~user/Desktop/Trash is the folder on the gnome
desktop for the trash (I don't know for sure
I don't use it)

root# chmod 0300 ~user/Desktop/Trash

user$ ls -ld Trash
d-wx------    2 user user     4096 Nov 12 11:34 Trash
user$ ls -l Trash
ls: testing: Permission denied
user$ touch Trash/joe
user$ ls -l Trash/joe
-rw-------    1 user user        0 Nov 12 11:35 Trash/joe
user$ ls -l Trash
ls: testing: Permission denied
user]$ ls -l Trash/*
ls: Trash/*: No such file or directory

How's that work?

I'm pretty sure gnome's "empty trash" would have
to follow the permissions on the directory.

So they could add but not delete unless they
know the name.
