Bug Description

Binary package hint: seahorse

Every time seahorse is started -- on a gdm login, for example --, it will create a temporary work directory under ~/.gnome2, to hold the socket to be used on the current session.

This directory (and the socket created) does not seem to be removed, ever. As time goes by, the ~/.gnome2 directory gets quite cluttered with such old directories.

I manually removed all such directories about 2 days ago (there were about 70 such directories). From then to now, I got the following:

hggdh@xango:~/.gnome2$ ls -l sea*
-rw-r--r-- 1 hggdh hggdh 63 2007-01-31 17:23 seahorse
