Almost every Gimp user I've met has one or more dead gimpswap files in their home directory, and they're often completely unaware of them. Fixing that in Gimp 1.2 would be really great, and if NFS is a problem for the less than 5% of Gimp users stuck with gimpswap on NFS, then I guess (unlink-on-create false) and appropriate additional code is not too much work for whoever mentioned that. IMHO This is a bug fix (the bug being dead gimpswap files using disk) Nick.
