[Kde-kiosk] KDE Temp Files in /tmp

Hi All,
I am trying to further tighten the security in our KDE Kiosk mode
environment. One issue of concern was user files/dirs lying around in
/tmp that other users can see. I know most of them are secured by their
ownership and permissions but I don't even want users to know other
users login ID's. We are using NFS mounted home directories. I have
set the following variables to make Gnome and KDE files reside in user's
local tmp directories:
# Set KDE and Gnome temp vars to user tmp dir
export TMPDIR=~/tmp
export KDETMP=~/tmp
export KDEVARTMP=~/tmp
The above works fine. I am still getting mcop-userid directories in
/tmp. Is there a variable that I can set to make this directory get
stored under the user's home directory?
Thanks
Murray
