Thank you. The upstream bug reports are helpful.

Both the bug reports are quite old but with no fix downstream yet. So
I'm not sure when we could see this in [K]ubuntu.

I hope we all are aware of tmpreaper. It cleans files/folders in /tmp based on 
how old they are.
Probably, till it gets fixed, I'll use something similar to it. TrashReaper?

Should a TrashReaper kind of approach be proposed for the next release?
