Yeah, I've been worried about something like that for years now. That's
why
I
moved to SF from the Midwest. I've been
working on a project that it
seems certain people "out there" don't like. And also among my friends I
keep too many friends of dark complexion, foreign origin, or the wrong
religion.
These days, one can't be "too paranoid"; and I expect the Thought Police
to kick in my door at any moment. If that happens, it just proves that
they are more paranoid than I am. I mostly read ancient literature, and
spend my life deep in the past.
Oh well, you can't please everybody!

Try clearing all tmp directories, as well as FF/SM and other browser
caches. Anything temporary, dump it. Then go to tdecontrol and set it to
clear tmp. Do the same for root, if you use it alot.

I do clear my browser caches, but I ought to set tdecontrol for clearing my
tmp folder.
