[expert] Why do I have ~/tmp?

[George Petri]

Hello again!

Does anyone know why my Mandrake 7.2 /etc/skel directory has an empty subdirectory in 
it 
called "tmp"?

As a result, I have a "tmp" directory in my home directory...
What purpose does this personal tmp folder serve, when there is a global /tmp folder?
Will I break any applications if I delete it (rmdir ~/tmp)?

Thanks,
George
