Actually, you increase it, since if $TMPDIR is not set, GNOME puts
them in /var/tmp/. (Which is the biggest cause of people setting
TMPDIR I've seen in years - if those files survive a hostname
change, such as booting your laptop and getting a different DHCP
hostname, GNOME won't start - but that's a bug, not a reason to
change the system defaults.)
