rm -rf `find /tmp -name evolution\* -user julie`

I don't know how to do this from within gnome, but you could create your
own custom xsession and do it from there.  This will require a bit of
research, but basically you want to create an ~/.Xsession file, which
duplicates your normal X session.  Typically something like this:

#!/bin/sh
ssh-agent gnome-session

Then add a line at the end that just calls your cleanup script:

#!/bin/sh
ssh-agent gnome-session
cleanup.sh

Then, when you login, tell gdm (or xdm, kdm, whatever) to login using an
Xsession.  When you logout of gnome, the gnome-session command ends, and
your cleanup script will then get executed.  Look in /etc/gdm/Sessions,
man gdm, man xdm, man xinit for more information.

HTH,
