The commit in URL fixes a problem with telepathy-qt not deleting avatars image files. Currently I have 1.3 GB of image files when it should not be more than a few MB. The commit in URL is in the (unreleased) telepathy-0.9.4. I think it is a good idea to backport it to telepathy-qt 0.9.3 to prevent further wasted disk space. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Just use telepathy-qt with a jabber account 2. Slowly telepathy-qt will create new files and not delete outdated ones Actual Results: hundreds of MB wasted (even more than a 1 GB). Expected Results: Outdated files should be deleted or like the patch in URL does: do not create new files if the new avatar has the same token as the old one.
