Sputnik: Note that the original report talks about temporary files being
left-over after crashes of showfoto or the image editor.
If this also applies to your situation, can you please point
me at the corresponding bug reports, discussing the crashes themselves?

Or if  you experience a different situation,  please explain in detail.

The good thing about open source is that the source in open, i.e.
you can download it and improve it by providing patches.
All the development is done in the people's free time, so
more contributors are always welcome!
