[Bug 984785] Re: .goutputstream files polluting $HOME

[Dabo Ross]

I get these a lot with ubuntu 12.10, though they aren't really a problem as I have a script run with crontab to delete them on boot
`@reboot rm ~/.goutputstream-*`
in `crontab -e`.
It has something to do with file management, I think.
just speculating, but because everyone who has these have them with some process that edits files, like Ubuntu one/dropbox, or when booting up/shutting down. What if the process that creates goutputstream for changing files hasn't fully loaded or is shut down in the middle of an operation? (just speculating).
