Are we saving kio temp files in there?!

Afaik these files are all session files stored in that directory.

Hrm... possibly Icepak, followed by gimp, and now possibly appletproxy if you 
start an applet outside of kicker...  but i think this is limited to my 
machine at this point...


Is it possible that a b0rked session file on being restored propogates itself?  
ie, if i have  a wacked out konqi that saves its session, could it restore a 
wacked out konqi, that again saves itsself in  a bad state?  Could we also 
"clear" out unkown session files in there?  Just to keep bad files from 
building up?  Or maby "scan" the file and try to restore everything in there?

I think the big issue for me, is that these files build up over time... For a 
user who doesnt know to clean this out they could get very large.   As an 
example, my wifes session on KDE 3.1.4 has 5 konqueror sessions, 8 konsoles, 
2 ksircs, 7kwins and a kopete in her session.  I know for a fact I am the 
only one who uses konsole there, but im pretty sure at least 4 of the konqi's 
are real as well as the kopete...
