How do you prevent dotfiles/dotdirs beeing created?

My guess would be either rm(1) or not using crappy apps (although admittedly some of the least crappy apps clutter your home directory with them). Even with cleaning out useless dot-files every few months, I still wind up with hundreds, though.

have to guard carefully against it.
