The following patch fixes bug #6635943.
gnome-cleanup currently deletes the $HOME/.gstreamer-0.10 directory.
However, codeina installs plugins to $HOME/.gstreamer-0.10/plugins. We
don't want to delete any plugins the user has downloaded, so we should
instead delete only $HOME/.gstreamer-0.10/registry since we do want to
remove the registry so it gets rebuilt when gnome-cleanup is run.
The above issue is a fairly serious bug, but some other minor issues
that should be fixed as well include the following:
Note that GNOME programs use g_get_tmp_dir to figure out where to put
the files. gnome-cleanup currently supports deleting files in the
var/tmp and the $TMP directory, but g_get_tmp_dir can also return the
value of $TEMPDIR and $TEMP, so we should remove any files in those
directories as well. We should also delete gvfs-${LOGNAME} files that
are in the tmp directory.
Lastly we should cleanup $HOME/.dbus just to remove all the files that
could possibly cause the user problems and return the user back to a
fresh install environment.
