I know this problem which also exists for digikam itself. The junk files are 
due to crashes of the application. In that case the undo files are not 
removed and accumulate. I actually have a fcron job running to empty those 
directories every night.

I think it would be good if at application launch time there would be an 
automatic cleanup.
