Hi
This post has nothing to do with Ubuntu, but I didn't really know where 
else to ask...

Some text editors (e.g. Emacs and Gedit) creates backup files named 
"somefile.txt~" and that's just fine. My question is:
does anybody know why these editors doesn't delete those files when they 
exit?

Thanks,
Soren
