Though that has it's own problems. I notice that Nautilus wants to
use /tmp to create disc burning image files, you'd have to wade through
gconf to point that elsewhere, unless you had enough RAM to do that
off-disc. I don't know about other programs that make large temporary
files.
There's also a /var/tmp/ directory, but I've not seen anything make use
of it. Though, again, you could mount it using tmpfs.
