Don't know as I don't use Dash. However if you've sensitive files, and
you've put them in a Truecrypt file, and have to purposely open
Truecrypt and then that file to get at them, I suspect that Johnny will
figure out how to 'clean' and/or block the crumb bits like
~/.recently-used ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel
~/.local/share/zeitgeist/activity.sqlite etc. Whew... how's that for a
run-on sentence :-)
