Comment 5 for bug 175286

found this request finding out how to turn this _off_ (on Debian sid). I can certainly see _why_ you want this, but I would ask that it be made optional. You could even make it dependent on location - i.e. /tmp (read only), /home (read-write). But then it also depends what you are doing - a PDF would normally be a read-only operation (and you'd want the file removed automatically). An openoffice doc, well, that's harder to say. Personally, saving to /tmp and leaving it there is fine (if I want to keep it I'll move it myself to /home).

Just another PoV :-)
