Hi all:

About the problem I described here:

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2025-08/msg00061.html

I suspect that the problem may be triggered by Tramp's session timeout, as I am 
seeing this message in the *Messages* window:

Tramp: Timeout session /sudo:root@hostname:

I fear that, after the session times out, Tramp gets confused about the 
previous lock file upon reconnection, and gets confused with the temporary file 
when saving, so that it leaves one of them behind.

I found something about such timeouts in the manual here:

https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/tramp/Predefined-connection-information.html

The key is:

"Most of the methods do not set this property except the sudo, doas and run0 
methods, which use predefined values."

The trouble is, the manual does not say what the predefined value for such 
connections are.

Is there a way to change that predefined value for such connections?

If you edit a file, but do not save it, I am not sure that it is such a good 
idea for Tramp to let the connection timeout, especially if a lock file has 
been created.

Thanks in advance,
  rdiez
