Well, I disagree.  Of course getTempDir should NOT set the environment
variable.  It might be set in horde/lib/base.php.

The reason why I think so, is because the name of the configuration
variable 'tmpdir' made me think that this is used for all temporary
files.  And in the case we're discussing here, it's not used, because
the TMPDIR environment variable hasn't been set to the value specified
in the configuration.

Any yes, I think that this is something that should be solved in horde.
 There might be reasons for specifying a different TMPDIR just for
Horde.  Maybe, because the admin knows that the TMPDIR environment
variable is no good...  And since the fix is so easy and also makes the
system more consistent, I'd really think that this should be fixed ;)
