In case that showfoto crashes while editing an image outside of digikam it looses control over its /var/tmp-files. - This has produced several critical system crashes after a while because the harddisk ran full.

To make X loadable again it is possible to delete the undofiles by hand in the folder "/var/tmp/kdecache-USERNAME/showFoto/"

There should be an internal monitoring mechanism to delete the undo-cache of previous showfoto-files.
