Hi George,

I run GNOME so I can't answer all of your questions, but there are some
settings I always make in YaST2's /etc/sysconfig editor

'System' -> 'Cron'
  TMP_DIRS_TO_CLEAR     /tmp /var/tmp
  CLEAR_TMP_DIRS_AT_BOOTUP      yes

There are some related 'fine tuning' settings in the same area but I
don't use them. These specific two help to keep /tmp and /var/tmp from
inadvertently filling up my '/' partition in the background and
triggering other problems.

hth & regards,

Carl
