The problem is actually a bug (?) in googleearth, that it leaves the 
lock file when it finishes ungracefully, and after it is restarted it 
complains about this file without understanding that the previous 
process is dead.

But it talks about /home/.... files, and it's confusing since it really 
talks about /compat/linux/home/... files.

Now I found who creates /compat/linux/home. It's skype. After I delete 
/compat/linux/home and relaunch skype it recreates it.

So maybe to prevent such things link /compat/linux/home -> /home should 
be created by installer?
