the .ds_store , files do not need the window to be opened, they often
appear
in directories that have never been opened in the finder.
However , that said, Linux and the cvs systems also have a lot of similar
files scattered about their directory structures
if you use an IDE to build your jar files, most ide's allow an exemption
list
, which excludes the named files from any build or system process.
