>Description:
mlterm used as daemon for multi-terminal mode creates a its unix domain socket
in a non-random location in /tmp. "/tmp" is really hardcoded, $TMPDIR is
ignored. My patch changes the location of this socket to ~/.mlterm/.socket.
I've uploaded it to the SourceForge project site of mlterm along with a
more detailed explanation. I'd think it's useful to have this patch in pkgsrc
until a new release is available.
>How-To-Repeat:
$ mlterm --daemon genuine
