Public bug reported: Binary package hint: checkbox
FreeDesktop? XDG Base Directory Specifications [1] aim at solving two problems: 1) The home directory of users is filled with many hidden directories. 2) It is hard for a user to distinguish application preferences, application data and application cache, which is useful for backup purposes. CheckBox does not currently respect this standard and instead creates its files directly in ~/.checkbox. I am not 100% sure, but it seems to me that all these files can safely be deleted, without resetting user preferences nor user data, so they can be treated as cache and move to $XDG_CACHE_HOME/checkbox.
