Try doing the same with LibreOffice. E.g. open a Writer document, then do a shutdown without closing the app. Do they leave a lock file around? If not, then perhaps we need to add a signal handler (is this SIGINT?) to clean up the lock in this case. Shouldn't be too hard to do. > Also there have been odd occasions where I've got the impression that on a > normal close Rosegarden has forgotten to remove the lock file. Need more detail here.

This certainly would make me feel better that we aren't causing someone trouble. Even just on the auto-save interval (two minutes or something) would be good.
