I probably just have more pics than you. gthumb is probably the only app I use regularly that uses thumbnails (I use Awesome and a lot of CLI apps). > So how do I find out which programs create these thumbnails? strace can monitor every file a program opens, so: strace -e trace=open app_to_test 2> trace.txt then search trace.txt for thumbnails -- Also, i just found an interesting bug report for gnome http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=150483 It is now fixed, and gnome-settings-daemon >= 2.24 now prunes the thumbnails dir if it is greater than 64 MB at login. I know I don't really want to g-s-d just to trim thumbnails.. I have thought for a while that some sort of lightweight CLI-level session management (beyond simple shell login and logout scripts) would be nice for a number of things, including things like this.
