Why is TMPDIR actually set to /tmp in /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession? And, if it is actually needed by anything can we move that to /etc/profile so that it is at least consistent independent of the login method?

TMPDIR is used to make sure that all tools used in /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession do use it. We might reset it before we execute the final user scripts/shell in the shell function exec_login()

OK, I'll take care of that. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
