On my Snow Leopard there is no option between “Open with” and “Empty Trash” as your screen shot shows.

Command Z has no effect.

Is there some hidden preference we have to enable, perhaps? Does this work solely if you have only just put something in the rubbish, not discovered later that there is something there that you inadvertently deleted and you want to return to it’s original location?

Command + Z does the same thing and you don’t need the trash open to do it.

This feature has been in Mac OS for years, it may be labeled as something else like “Send to Original Location” prior to Snow Leopard.

I’m in SL so I can’t tell you though but I recall using this even in Mac OS 9!
