        Yes. Bleachbit is written using the Gtk widget toolkit, which is also what GNOME is built from.

            Not exactly sure what this means (bug-speak), but it sounds like progress:
            Potential fix committed: 8aecd14


            Changed in bleachbit:
            assignee: nobody → Andrew Ziem (ahziem1)
            status: New → In Progress

              Looks like it is now fixed according to the latest. You may go there and read the details, post #7:

                Ah rats, I forgot about this! Too much travel lately.

                Yes, it looks like they're whitelisting the /tmp subdirectory. Actually, BleachBit really doesn't need to do anything with that directory at all. It's automatically cleared each time the system boots:
                Code:
                steve@t520:~$ [B]cat /etc/default/rcS[/B]
#
# /etc/default/rcS
#
# Default settings for the scripts in /etc/rcS.d/
#
# For information about these variables see the rcS(5) manual page.
#
# This file belongs to the "initscripts" package.

[COLOR="#B22222"][B]# delete files in /tmp during boot older than x days.
# '0' means always, -1 or 'infinite' disables the feature
#TMPTIME=0[/B][/COLOR]

# spawn sulogin during boot, continue normal boot if not used in 30 seconds
#SULOGIN=no

# do not allow users to log in until the boot has completed
#DELAYLOGIN=no

# assume that the BIOS clock is set to UTC time (recommended)
UTC=yes

# be more verbose during the boot process
#VERBOSE=no

# automatically repair filesystems with inconsistencies during boot
#FSCKFIX=no
                Even though TMPTIME is commented out, the default value for this is still zero.

                  ... and,

                  When running Bleachbit as admin, it is not the "System" tmp file causing issues.
                  It is the KDE tmp option that causes problems when running Bleachbit as normal user.

                  They are now working on that.

                  But you are right anyway. Just reboot. In the meantime, uncheck the KDE /tmp option run as normal user..
