I was until recently using ubuntu studio quantal 64 bit (now using
trusty) and I happened to run across this in the apparmor profile for
evince:

# evince creates a temporary stream file like '.goutputstream-XXXXXX' in the
# directory a file is saved. This allows that behavior.
owner /**/.goutputstream-* w,

This discovery has I think been reported here before, but in case it's
useful to say, I thought to check my backup drive and discovered that
indeed those goutputstream files were still piling up in ubuntu studio
quantal. For example I have a backup done on 2014-06-18 and there are 3
of those files in my home directory; another backup dated 2014-04-08 has
14.
