Title:
  file-roller puts temporary files in the home dir instead of /tmp

Status in File Roller:
  Confirmed
Status in file-roller package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in file-roller package in Arch Linux:
  New

Bug description:
  1) lsb_release -rd
  Description:  Ubuntu Vivid Vervet (development branch)
  Release:      15.04

  2) apt-cache policy file-roller
  file-roller:
    Installed: 3.12.2-0ubuntu1
    Candidate: 3.12.2-0ubuntu1
    Version table:
   *** 3.12.2-0ubuntu1 0
          500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ vivid/main amd64 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  3) What is expected to happen is when one opens a tarball with file-
  roller, and without extracting the file, open it (ex. open PDF file
  with evince) the file-roller utilizes /tmp for this.

  4) What happens instead is file-roller utilizes a directory ~/.cache/.fr-* , 
where * is a changing folder name. If one logs out, or kills the file-roller 
process via:
  kill PID

  the temp files are left behind.
