I purge .thumbnails occasionally for this reason. I also wasn't happy to see my /var/tmp/kdecache-* grow to 400 MBish either, so I regularly purge that now on apt-get upgrades. Most recently I saw .xsession-errors grow to ~600 MB in just under a few days, so I've /dev/nulled that too except for when I need it. So yeah, it's a fairly epidemic problem. I probably notice more than most because I do daily remote-incremental backups over a DSL line, so an incremental backup of a few hundred MB definitely gets noticed. Sometimes it's OK, sometimes it's not. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
