Description jarlgjessing 2001-05-11 08:34:52 UTC
(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           kde
Version:           unknown (using KDE 2.1.2 )
Severity:          wishlist
Installed from:    Linux-Mandrake 8.0 i586
Compiler:          gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Linux-Mandrake 8.0 2.96-0.48mdk)
OS:                Linux 2.4.3-20mdk i686
OS/Compiler notes: 

Even though I'm using Linux I need to shutdown my machine.
Its in my living room and noisy.
I'm attached to a 10Mbit broadband and get my IP from a DHCP server. I configured my network to receive machine name from the DHCP server and get a new one each time :-(
This results in DCop files in my home dir with new names each time after 20 boots.
I have 40 files the link and the .Dcop... file
Very annoying could this get cleaned up on kde start time?

This is available since KDE 3.0 (dcopserver_shutdown, run at the end of 
startkde, takes care of removing the old files)
