/bin/shred is part of the GNU coreutils package, so if that is installed
then it is available.  It is very easy to use from the command line, so
the user would have to remember at most one command.  A few years ago I
did a secure deletion package shootout and analyzed the results with
data forensics software and wrote a tutorial based on that, if you would
like to take a lok at it.

It should be easy to write a script that can be run from a Gnome session
to call GNU shred.  Or bcwipe.  Or anything else, really.

Any meeting that's over in the time it takes you to go to the bathroom
is a good one.
