On top of the mentioned cases above, there are many programs making use
of caches. Some are:
* GLib's IO modules normally use a cache file 'giomodule.cache'. We set
the env. var. GIO_EXTRA_MODULES, but it's use is explicitly
discouraged by the project.
* XDG icons 'icon-theme.cache': I see some clashes in my profile (e.g.,
gtk and Inkscape).
* TeX 'ls-R' files: it would probably simplify modularization.
* I see python's easy_install site.py clashes in my profile. These are
probably harmless, but annoying.
It would definitely be good to establish a solid and general way to run
"hooks" to address this kind of situations.
