if you are methodic enough you can just create a script in /usr/bin that cleans temps, backs and other rotten files. Or easier yet, you can alias to something like clean_emacs to something like:
find . -name "*~" | xargs rm -f find . -name "#*#" | xargs rm -f of course you can make this more efficient but it does the work and it's simple. just before submitting the day's work in SVN I just run this script and make sure I have pruned all these files.
