I never look into the /tmp folder unless I have a very specific reason

I was using installpkg to install a package from /tmp, otherwise I never go there either.

But I am worried, should :

be in /tmp?

These temporary folders are used by plasma to generate client-side-decorations for gtk apps running inside plasma.
They should be empty or contains a few svg files (like the titlebar and close/minimize/maximize button icons).

Thanks ctrlaltca. I have looked in a few and they are empty.

So, do I just leave them be?

You can delete them if you like to, but they will be regenerated when a new application needing CSD is run.
Looking at the code i've not been able to find a function that deletes them, so they are probably supposed to just stay there until something cleans them out.
Some distro use a cronjob to run tmpwatch; Slackware has no job, but the rc.S init script takes care of removing some files from /tmp on boot (/tmp/{kde-[a-zA-Z]*,ksocket-[a-zA-Z]*,hsperfdata_[a-zA-Z]*,plugtmp*}), maybe they could be added to this list

I am not wanting to make work for someone, but that would be helpful.:)

Thanks again ctrlaltca

As part of an effort to overcome my decades long aversion to writing shell scripts (Perl has been my mainstay), I recently wrote a Bash script to walk the tree in /tmp, deleting files and directories that have not been modified since the last boot. This script might be run as a cron job, just stuffed into an rc script, or run from time to time as the spirit moves you (which is what I do).

The script does not follow symbolic links nor cross or delete mount points. It has a whitelist named DONT_RM conveniently located on line 359.

When invoked with the --debug command line argument, the script generates a lot of output to the screen. When invoked with the --verbose command line argument it generates less output. rm and stat commands that fail due to permissions will generate their own error messages regardless.

File deletions are memorialized in /var/log/messages, file deletion failures in /var/log/syslog.

My one-liner, remove files that have not been accessed since last boot:
possible variants :
! -newermt : not modified since ...
! -newerct : not created since ...

side note: folks that have stuff (like SBo) in the /tmp directory are adviced not to use such a command ;-)

I tried running it as

Today's update:

At time of KDE4 it started becoming too slow, and same happened in KDE5, so I quit using KDE. :( I wish I didn't have to. :( One knowledgeable user or programmer/sysadmin (on freenode now libera IRC ##slackware) since KDE0 said KDE progressively got worse from versions 0, to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and quit using it years before I did. I don't know how I withstood it this long (though I used KDE3.5 when was still in unsupported package set.)
