Just did some simple testing on this, and shutting down completely starts these things getting deposited in /home while logging off DOESN"T. That's about as far as I can go, am certainly not as advanced as some here, but it definitely looks like the Ubuntu OS (I'm running 12.04, BTW) is the culprit.
Whatever software IS the culprit, it's extremely bothersome and annoying, so I hope the launchpad folks, or somebody, soon gets to the bottom of this! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/984785 Title: .goutputstream files polluting $HOME To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/glib/+bug/984785/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
