cleaning up home directory?

[Scott Allen]

Apparently, Gnome will do some automatic maintenance of the thumbnail
cache based on age and directory size. There are some GConf
configuration parameters to tune this:

sudo gconf-editor

desktop -> gnome -> thumbnail_cache
You can set the maximum age for a thumbnail and the maximum total size
of all thumbnails.

For backups, I don't think it would be a problem to add rsync
parameters to not back up the ./thumbnails directory since thumbnails
will be recreated as necessary if they don't exist.
