           Summary: KDE hard-codes /tmp for temporary files. It should use
                    TMPDIR environment variable if it defined (and not
                    empty).
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: jnelson-kde at jamponi.net


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.5)
Installed from:    openSUSE RPMs

KDE hard-codes /tmp for temporary files. It should use TMPDIR environment
variable if it defined (and not empty).

KDE is one of the only applications which does not use the $TMPDIR environment
variable for where to locate temporary data.

Not everybody, or every distribution, or every environment uses /tmp - in some
cases this is undesireable.  Please use the $TMPDIR environment variable for
kdecache-$USERNAME directories and others.
