BUG in KDE 3.4.2 upgrade

I just upgraded to 3.4.2 and encountered a bug. KDE seems to be ignoring my TMPDIR (and TEMPDIR) environment variables *sometimes*. Specifically, aRTS will refuse to start and so on. I have since reverted my TMPDIR and TEMPDIR environment variables so I can get my sound back, but this is a long-standing issue I'd like to see resolved. Why can't kde just use TMPDIR like everybody else? -- Carpe diem - Seize the day. Carp in denim - There's a fish in my pants! Jon Nelson
