(This is going OT, but Sqlite, in their FAQ, only suggest against
*multiple processes* accessing the same database over NFS.
ThunderBird works perfectly in such a setup as it's only one
user/program accessing the database.)
ANyway, thinking about it, if the chflag errors are just warnings like
you say above, then setting a custom TMPDIR will not be needed even with
your setup. So there is no need for a warning anyway.
Guido, you are losing sight with the heart of the problem, i.e. without
TMPDIR, xfce4-appearance-settings tries to create a temporary directory
in / (and obviously fails).
This has nothing to do with where home is or what filesystem it's using.
IMVVHO, if TMPDIR is something a FreeBSD will most probably NOT have,
then it should be changed into something else. Or at least the user
should know it must be set.
