I found that the program "evince" which is used for PDF reading/viewing writes 
to the home drive
See /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.evince where it has:

  # evince creates a temporary stream file like '.goutputstream-XXXXXX' in the
  # directory a file is saved. This allows that behavior.
  owner /**/.goutputstream-* w,

Of course, several other programs could use the same technique to save
status info, neglects to clean them up.
