The default is already $TMP/akonadi-<something unique>, for the production 
instance. I think what you are seeing is a recent change in the testrunner, 
which moves $TMP from /tmp to the testrunner sandbox.

This was done since we were "leaking" the socket directories in /tmp for every 
test. The production instance reuses that folder, but the tests never can.

So, I don't think we need changes in the Akonadi server, this can probably be 
fixed by shortening paths of the testrunner sandbox.
