Bug#696354: plasma-desktop: eats up /var/tmp with plasma_theme_*.kcache files > 80M each



Package: plasma-desktop
Version: 4:4.8.4-5
Severity: important

While updating I've found my root filesystem full. After searching for 
space to free, I found on /var/tmp/kdecache-${user} up to 11 files with 
size 84213856 each named "plasma_theme_${themename}.kcache". A few days 
ago I was testing several themes, however I didn't expect that for each 
one I tried it left a file of this considerable size. Globally, it eat 
up to 0.9G of disk space which was not reclaimed.

I don't know what are these files for, but given their size I believe 
they either should be put in /tmp if there are no longer necessary 
after reboot, or instead clean up the files for themes other than the 
one currently in use. I don't believe all of them are necessary at the 
same time.

Important because I'm not sure if it deserves an RC status, please
upgrade or downgrade.
