On the KDE Neon Developer Stable edition, I have been getting empty documents in the Home directory that are being generated every time that I reboot or log back in. These documents have randomly generated characters in the label and they do not seem to have anything written inside of the documents. This seems to only be an issue whenever I install or re-install the Dev stable edition on my laptop: Installing KDE Neon dev stable on Virtualbox has failed to reproduce this problem and I have no idea where the source of this problem is. This is more of an annoyance than a serious issue, nevertheless, I would to know why this happens and how to fix it on my system.

For reference, here is my

Here is the screenshot of the main problem (Each reboot or login results in an additional single empty document with a gibberish label)

An idea to try and determine if these are showing up on log in vs. log out:
* Note what files currently exist and then log out.
* Log in to a blank/dumb session type (a destkop-agnostic window manager session, or to one of the tty terminals at e.g. ctrl+alt+F1 through F7).
* Compare what files exist with what you noted before.
* Log out of there and log back into KDE and compare again.

If the file was created between the first and second check, it is probably something closing when KDE exits. In this case you can check what things are running and try closing things and try closing some of them to see if they create the file upon closing.
If the file was created between the second and third check, it is probably something creating the file when KDE starts up. In this case, you can try fiddling with things in System Settings -> Startup and Shutdown, including switching Session Management -> On Login to Start with empty session and turning off any Autostart scripts.
