Two.  First, to prevent core dumps, put ulimit -c 100000 in your
/etc/profile.  This will limit the size of core dumps to whatever
number you specify, e.g. 100000

Second, Gnome (on my machine) leaves old files (I think they are lock
files) laying around my ~/.gnome directory.  They look like
".gnome-smproxy-nLhsKF"  I delete all but the one which obviously
corresponds to the current session.  This seems to make a big
difference.
