Hi Amos,
I think the right way to obtain what you need would be implementing
first a g_file_restore_from_trash () API in GIO (see bug #518573 [1]).
This would also bring the chance to have something like
nautilus_file_operations_restore (), and would also solve the
long-standing bug #41850 [2] about restoring from trash.
The trash GVfs backend already stores information about the trashed
files inside ~/.local/share/Trash/info (including the original path
(uri?)), so I think this would have to be implemented there.
