Lot's of zero-length files like ~/.config/*.{dic,exc}

[dsh@…]

Gajim from SVN (from 20080713) creates lot's of zero-length files inside my $HOME/.config directory. For example:

  -rw-------   1 dsh  dsh     0 Jul 17 13:09 be.dic
  -rw-------   1 dsh  dsh     0 Jul 17 13:09 be.exc
  -rw-------   1 dsh  dsh     0 Jul 17 13:09 bg.dic
  -rw-------   1 dsh  dsh     0 Jul 17 13:09 bg.exc
  -rw-------   1 dsh  dsh     0 Jul 17 13:09 br.dic
  -rw-------   1 dsh  dsh     0 Jul 17 13:09 br.exc
  -rw-------   1 dsh  dsh     0 Jul 17 13:09 cs.dic

and so on.

Gajim never use this .config folder. Those files must be created by another application

I don't have any of those, even when I use spell checker. Maybe something strange with your aspell installation?
