[Sugar-devel] [sugar-toolkit-gtk3 PATCH] sl#4276: Writing the icon-files for ".xo" files on a permanent mount-point, and not /tmp. mount-point.

[Ajay Garg]

Hi all.

I will leave the choice of deciding upon the "icon files" directory to you
guys :)

My personal opinion :: I would refrain  from using the /tmp directory,
since it is, well, temporary mount-point, and I would not point to delve
too much into shakeable territory.

This is confirmed in Fedora-18, because as far as I know, in Fedora-14, we
were using /tmp too, but never faced  any problems then. However, now in
Fedora-18, the problem is being faced, owing to "special-ness" of /tmp.
