Bug Description
As an initiative to bring GNOME 3.8 options to Ubuntu:
1) Bug #1189313 -- Screen Lock options
2) Bug #992338 -- Privacy settings don't affect Gnome recently-used list.
This bug report is for feature request for "Purge Trash & Temporary Files" as it is upstream GNOME 3.8
https:/
Copied from #1189313
-------
GNOME 3.8 includes new Privacy and Search settings panels which offer similar but different functionality to Ubuntu's Privacy settings panel. There are several different ways Ubuntu's Privacy panel could go. I suggest incorporating pieces from GNOME's panel in the Privacy panel.
Specifically:
- Purge Trash & Temporary Files
Perhaps this should only show it if the (Ubuntu-specific sadly) XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP environment variable =Unity.
See this screenshot:

The design in that screenshot is confusing, so I'd need a little help designing a replacement.
Does "Purge after" "30 days" apply to both "Automatically Empty Trash" and "Automatically Purge Temporary Files", or does it apply just to the latter that uses the word "purge"?
If it applies to both, does "Purge After" mean "Delete files older than", or does it mean "Delete all files every"?
And if it applies just to the latter, when is the trash automatically emptied?
