Comment(by AlbertCahalan):

 On joyride 2241, from August 2008, the jls script just restarts sugar. I
 think it may have killed the X server.

 None of this is really practical for cleaning out the spam anyway. (don't
 even think about the hopeless GUI) I have 1150 entries. About 15 of those
 are activities that I may need to keep.

 What we really need is a tool that deletes all files except some specific
 classes, and can do so without needing to rely on sugar/dbus/X/etc. The
 specific classes should be the user's choice of: photos, video recordings,
 audio recordings, *.xo files, and anything else that people might value.
 Like this:

 unspam --keep=photo,xo
