By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description Darrell 2013-08-17 12:41:18 CDT

I understand a process like TDM creating /tmp/tdesocket-global, but user-spawned processes such as desktop locking should use $TDEHOME/socket-`uname -n`.

When I reboot my systems my shutdown scripts remove garbage and spurious files and cleans /tmp. When I then first log into Trinity /tmp/tdesocket-global does not yet exist. Invoking the desktop lock creates /tmp/tdesocket-global. The culprit is the desktop lock process.

There are unexpected permissions problems, as noted in the dev mail list:

Resolution: ensure user-spawned processes do not create /tmp/tdesocket-global.
