GNOME leaves a lot of useless files

by Julien on February 20th, 2009

I have been cleaning my ~/ and noticed a lot of files in ~/.metacity/sessions/ and ~/.config/metacity/sessions/ (800+) and in ~/.nautilus/ (600+).

Nautilus and Metacity are to blame for these behaviours. Bugs have already been reported in the Debian BTS and in the upstream bugzilla.

I hope this will be fixed shortly.

    I have this problem too. An easy way to solve this problem is to make the folders read only with chmod.

      (Note that it may disable some feature I never use, so beware.)
