What is the purpose of ~/.gnome/.gnome-smproxy* files?

What is the purpose of the ~/.gnome/.gnome-smproxy* files?  I found if I
delete them all, that gnome does not startup properly at next reboot.

However, they accumulate.  One could get hundreds of these littering
up the place.  So, a cleanup strategy would make sense.

Thanks.
