If you look at hier(7) it says this about > /var/tmp: temporary files that are kept between system reboots Exactly, which is why I'm peeved that so many "session socket" style entries seem to be put into /var/tmp, rather than /tmp, where they would go away automatically. I've just grepped for "tmp" in my env, and find: ORBIT_SOCKETDIR=/var/tmp/orbit-andrew GPG_AGENT_INFO=/var/tmp/seahorse-1GYhZS/S.gpg-agent:2325:1 GNOME_KEYRING_SOCKET=/var/tmp/keyring-oFUrKu/socket SESSION_MANAGER=local/duncan.reilly.home:/tmp/.ICE-unix/2282 DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/var/tmp/dbus-sMsgLh7CEo,guid=cc0cc75885188dbad4e0e68d4b35f460 so it seems clear that quite a few of these could be overridden, but blowed if I can find where the knobs are located. Does anyone know? I suppose that I should be asking this question on freebsd-gnome@... Cheers, -- Andrew
