Ditto. > But do really all those #some.thing# files have to go there by > default? Yeah, backup files that get deleted by the backup cleaning process shouldn't be moved to the freedesktop trash can. And the same applies to the thousands of cached news articles that get expired when I clean the gnus agent cache. I'm pretty sure, there are many more exceptions, like all the png files that get deleted when I clean my doc-view cache... IMO, moving files to the trash can should be done only if a user does it interactively in dired or by invoking things like delete-file directly. On the other hand, when I do M-x gnus-agent-expire it is also an interactive call, but there I don't want to move the cached files to the trash... Bye, Tassilo
