Re: KDE Temp Files in /tmp

Hi Chris,

I found an old article that said the mcop-userid directories need to
machine specific so for our situation with NFS home directories things
wouldn't work right if we could move them to user temp directories.  I
think the location is hard-coded to /tmp by the looks of it.  We also
are still using Evolution 1.4 but it looks like Evolution 2.x does the
right thing.  I think newer versions of Acrobat reader also behave a bit
better in where they keep their temp files.
