Well ... sort of.  What do you say when "rm -rf somedir" fails because
some of the files within "somedir," although owned by the invoker,
cannot be removed?  Or when the GUI "Trash" icon stays messy after
emptying because there are files that won't go away?

I certainly respect the original poster's opinion that these files get
in the way and that they're annoying.  They're nasty, but they're part
of the game.  Stick with local file systems if you really can't stand
them.  :-/
