** Summary changed:

- SDK applications require too many accesses on desktop with nvidia
+ SDK applications require /tmp access with nvidia (should honor TMPDIR)

** Description changed:

  Nvidia desktop users need the following AppArmor permissions to avoid denials:
-   owner /tmp/gl* mrw,
+   owner /tmp/gl* mrw,
  
  But this rule breaks application confinement such that apps are able to
  tamper with each other. Interestingly, apps still run without the rule,
  so we can explicitly deny it for now.
  
  The use of /tmp is apparently hardcoded and does not honor TMPDIR 
(application confinement will setup TMPDIR to a private area for the app). 
strace confirms this:
  24603 mkdir("/tmp", 0777)               = -1 EEXIST (File exists)
  24603 open("/tmp/glBRPYmm", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0600) = -1 EACCES 
(Permission denied)
  
- While the use of O_EXCL is safe however, we don't allow access to /tmp
- for confined apps and libraries/applications should always honor TMPDIR.
