Gnome-screensaver doesn't honour the TMPDIR environment variable.
Instead of using the directory provided by TMPDIR (set by
libpam-tmpdir), it creates gconfd-$USER and orbit-$USER directly in
/tmp.
AFAIK, that's gconf and not gnome-screensaver. gconf already uses
g_get_tmp_dir so I think it should use TMPDIR if it's available.
IMHO, the reason is that TMPDIR is not on the list of allowed env vars
in gs-job.c and gs-window-x11.c in gnome-screensaver. After the call to
gdk_spawn_on_screen_with_pipes TMPDIR gets lost. I'm not sure if simply
adding TMPDIR to the list would result in some security risks, though.
