Bug Description

Hi Andrew.
In the cleaning section of system cache (/home/user/.cache) must have a exception (or at least a warning to the user) for Chrome cache (/home/user/.cache/google-chrome/Cache), since the cleaning section of Google Chrome already has the option to clear this cache. if both are marked, bleachbit displays duplicate results in cleaning.

I am using:
Ubuntu Lucid 10.04.1 LTS.
Google Chrome 7.0.544.0 (Versão oficial 61416) dev.
BleachBit version 0.8.1-1, installed from an installation package on the BleachBit web site.

Yes, this causes duplicate results in the preview, but it shouldn't cause duplicate results when actually deleting files because the files will be deleted by one or the other. Three options

1. If there is an exception, then it won't be thorough when only cleaning system cache.
2. A warning may annoy more users than it informs.
3. A third option is to de-duplicate the preview, but this adds complexity and requires additional CPU power (i.e., it is slower).
