Today I have found that ~/.cache directory contains 135981 directories 
named *at-spi2-??????* and each of them has this structure:

:, cd ~/.cache
:; ls -rlth

srwxrwxrwx 1 predrag_zecevic admin 0 Jan 14 11:28 at-spi2-FJI7Z2/socket

:; fuser at-spi2-FJI7Z2/socket
at-spi2-FJI7Z2/socket:

# Only for today 406 directories were created:

Any idea what creates it and what could be a purpose?

Thanks in advance
