gnome-system-monitor leaves sockets named like this behind on exit:

/tmp/gnome-system-monitor.<user>.<num>
Comment 1 Robert Roth 2011-11-14 20:29:51 UTC 
I can confirm this using System Monitor 3.2.1, setting the status to New.

I believe your patch for bug #646393 fixes this. Can you confirm?
Comment 3 Robert Roth 2011-11-15 04:52:29 UTC 
No, that patch doesn't fix this. That only changes the location of the socket file, now it is left in the XDG user runtime dir, defaulting to $HOME/.cache/gnome-system-monitor.<user>.<num>. This should be removed when quitting the application. Or it would be even better to have a properly working GtkApplication c++ class, which would eliminate the need for libbacon. See bug 351087 for more details.

Yes, I realize this but at least it doesn't clutter up the /tmp/directory.

Yes, I agree. That's why I wasn't really concerned about this bug nor Bug #646393. Both will be taken care of with a move to GtkApplication. I'll see if I can use the C api for GtkApplication to do this.
Comment 5 Robert Roth 2012-07-24 20:31:50 UTC 
As fixing 351087 by migrating to GtkApplication will fix this, I am marking this as a duplicate of that bug.
