BTW, it's not just KDE that does this.  A lot of apps that IMO should
be more careful aren't.

For example apt/dpkg on debian.  It's possible if you lose
power/oops/whatever during upgrade you can eat those files and cause
much pain.


It's bad enough I started work on a replacement for these that uses
sqlite.
