Hmm... I use vim and I've never seen it do this... vim uses swap files from
which it recovers stuff (.<filename>.swp). 

>From the vi man page on a Debian box:

       /var/tmp/vi.recover
              The default recovery file directory.

and the files don't have a ~ they're called recover.<mktmp>.
