I was missing a quick way in KDE to clean up all privacy related traces, such
as cookies, caches, clipboards, command and URL histories, stored passwords
etc.
So I have started to write a small control center module that offers these
actions in a central place, sorted into different sections. It would fit
nicely into the existing "Security & Privacy" category.
Here's a screenshot:

Not all apps are as nice as Konqueror and offer the required functionality
through dcop. I tried writing the config files directly, but apps like
kdesktop/minicli write the configuration back on exit, which makes it almost
impossible to clear things like the "Run Command" history. If nobody objects,
I would like to add some dcop functions in these cases (such as kdesktop) to
enable this. I definitely think dcop is the best way to perform these
cleanups, the other ways I tried are pretty ugly hacks :).
Does anybody think this privacy kcm module is a good idea? If so, I can
make the code available and add more functionality and the required dcop calls
where they are needed.
regards,
Ralf
