Hi Alberto, Thanks for the report. I have confirmed this bug in synergy.
Upstream had disabled temp file deletion because the Windows service uses the temporary config files, but I can't see any reason for the gui to have that behaviour on Debian. Attached is a patch for this fix against 1.8.7-stable, but quilt will apply it to the 1.4.16 source if you want to build a fixed version.
