I had once found an article regarding > un-deleting ext2 files. It *should* work the same, though the the last time I tried such a recovery from and ext3 filesystem, ext3 made it particularly hard cause it zeros most of the inode on delete (including ext3_inode->i_block[]). Ext2 leaves much more information behind. You could try with the undelfs feature in Midnight Commander, but first be sure to mount the filesystem read-only in order to avoid any further changes.
