hi...

this is mostly for Andrea (adjam), but figure here is as good a place as any 
to discuss =) 

i noticed today a commit to plasmagik today that puts a directory in /tmp to 
be zipped up when creating a package. this has a few problems (besides 
leaking the new'd QDir on line 314) ... one can't assume /tmp is available 
for use like that.

at a minimum instead this code should be using KStandardDirs to locate the 
proper "tmp" resource dir. in fact, the best thing to do is to use KTempDir 
here. you also get cleanup for free in that case and protect against symlink 
attacks on the dir creation ...

hth..
