Dear Maintainer,

hello.

On Debian 13, XFCE, every boot causes the directories
/root/.cache/mesa_shader_cache and /root/.cache/mesa_shader_cache_db to be
recreated and populated with files. I am not logging into the root user account
at all, it happens on its own.

This did not use to happen on Debian 12.

Please avoid writing to the root home directory for no reason, there are more
suitable locations in /var/cache or elsewhere, if it is truly necessary to
generate those files on every boot.
