Well, this is the beggining of the proposal, that is: Include into debian package another control file that says which files it creates in the user's home, so that can be made a simple program that the user runs and see: "icewm created this files, and, as I don't use icewm anymore, I don't need them." P.S.: This thread went to another point when people said "just do ls -ld .*". My proposal was made thinking Debian as a desktop-user-friendly operating system. (Maybe I should discuss with debian desktop project before asking here).
