I thought that TMPDIR, TEMP, and TMP are all undefined on Solaris by
default.  glib fallsback to /var/tmp when none are defined.

I would think most GNOME applications would use the glib interface
described earlier.  However, again, I think testing would be needed
to verify that things work as expected after making an interface
change like this.
