Package: open-vm-tools-desktop Version: 2:10.1.5-5055683-4 Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer, Copied files will end up in the ~/.cache/vmware folder, and will remain there forever. I am aware that there are inherent problems to figure out which ones are still required, but there could be some events where the content could (and IMHO should) be deleted. *) On shutdown or startup (would need to iterate through all users) *) local X11-logon of a user *) local X11-logoff of a user *) start/stop of the vmware-user daemon On any of these events it would be safe to delete the drag-and-drop cache, I would say deleting the cache aftert stopping the user daemon would be best, that way the cache gets removed if the package gets uninstalled as well -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages open-vm-tools-desktop depends on: ii fuse 2.9.7-1 ii libatk1.0-0 2.22.0-1 ii libatkmm-1.6-1v5 2.24.2-2 ii libc6 2.24-10 ii libcairo2 1.14.8-1 ii libcairomm-1.0-1v5 1.12.0-1+b1 ii libfontconfig1 2.11.0-6.7+b1 ii libfreetype6 2.6.3-3.1 ii libgcc1 1:6.3.0-14 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.36.5-2 ii libglib2.0-0 2.50.3-2 ii libglibmm-2.4-1v5 2.50.0-1 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.31-2 ii libgtkmm-2.4-1v5 1:2.24.5-1 ii libice6 2:1.0.9-2 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.40.5-1 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.40.5-1 ii libpangoft2-1.0-0 1.40.5-1 ii libpangomm-1.4-1v5 2.40.1-3 ii libsigc++-2.0-0v5 2.10.0-1 ii libsm6 2:1.2.2-1+b3 ii libstdc++6 6.3.0-14 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.4-3 ii libxext6 2:1.3.3-1+b2 ii libxi6 2:1.7.9-1 ii libxinerama1 2:1.1.3-1+b3 ii libxrandr2 2:1.5.1-1 ii libxrender1 1:0.9.10-1 ii libxtst6 2:1.2.3-1 ii open-vm-tools 2:10.1.5-5055683-4 Versions of packages open-vm-tools-desktop recommends: ii xauth 1:1.0.9-1+b2 pn xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse <none> ii xserver-xorg-video-vmware 1:13.2.1-1+b1 Versions of packages open-vm-tools-desktop suggests: ii xdg-utils 1.1.1-1 -- no debconf information
