Someone on Fedora devel list has taken offense at Claws Mail using
a predictable temporary "claws-mail-$UID" directory based on g_get_tmp_dir().

It has been pointed out that $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR via g_get_user_runtime_dir()
might be a better choice.

Are there specific reasons why g_get_tmp_dir() is used so far?
