That's because we don't clean up after our mess either. That is, we don't 
delete destroyed Unix server sockets.

At one point in the development of KExtendedSocket, I had added a flag to tell 
whether we wanted our Unix sockets to be removed or not. But I removed it 
since it was in the wrong place (i.e., removing the socket before creating, 
not after destroying).

I guess I should add it again, now in the proper place?
