Or am I trying to do things the wrong way? Looking at sources xfce4-settings uses a script to perform the operation at one point it executes this line of code: tmpdir=`TMPDIR="${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-$TMPDIR}" mktemp -d` Could you check with env in a terminal if you have any of those two env vars set? I do not have any, so the script would obviously end up using the root directory, which is definitely wrong. I need to think a little what the best solution could be in this case. I also need to check the full script to create a sensible patch. -- Guido Falsi
