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

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 these settings:
- Screen Lock (otherwise 3.8 is a regression from 3.6 as these setttings have been moved to the new Privacy panel)
- Recently Used toggle switch and time to retain from Usage & History
- Purge Trash & Temporary Files

But not...
- Name & Visibility probably isn't too useful in Unity

This could be an extra set of tabs that would be added with a build-time configure switch... or you could build them and only show it if the (Ubuntu-specific sadly) XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP environment variable =Unity.
