I tried lsof, but unless I can figure out a way to grep or filter the results it is useless - pages and pages of incomprehensible stuff. But since my original post I have additional information. I tried to rename it, just to see what would happen. A short while later the original reappeared alongside the renamed version. Now I have two that I can't get rid of. This is not an improvement! And then I tried double-clicking on the files. This launched K3b (my default burner), but for each file K3b threw an error saying that it couldn't open the file. So maybe the files really are not there; what I'm seeing is some ghost image. But the ghost image appears in both Thunar and the terminal. And deleting them with Thunar or the command line makes the ghost disappear, but only for a while. Any more suggestions? _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
