Public bug reported:
At startup, libORBit applications check the existance and the owner of the temp
dir (/tmp/orbit-$USER), but libORBit is too zealous and checks all the
directories starting with that name, and it gives spurious warnings.
gconfd use a similar temp dir (/tmp/gconfd-$USER), but it only checks that
directory, giving warnings only when appropriate.
One of them is wrong, and I suspect it is libORBit.
An example of this behaviour is attached.
The temp dir location is defined in:
Gconf: gconf/gconf-internals.c, gconf_get_daemon_dir
ORBit: src/orb/GIOP/giop.c, giop_tmpdir_init
And the check is performed in:
Gconf: gconf/gconfd.c, test_safe_tmp_dir
ORBit: src/orb/GIOP/giop.c, scan_socket_dir
