spurious warnings about directories which name resembles the tempdir

[Danilo Piazzalunga]

At startup, libORBit applications check the existance and the owner of the temp
dir (/tmp/orbit-$USER), but libORBit is too zealous and checks all the
directories starting with that name, and it gives spurious warnings.
gconfd use a similar temp dir (/tmp/gconfd-$USER), but it only checks that
directory, giving warnings only when appropriate.
One of them is wrong, and I suspect it is libORBit.

An example of this behaviour is attached.

The temp dir location is defined in:
Gconf: gconf/gconf-internals.c, gconf_get_daemon_dir
ORBit: src/orb/GIOP/giop.c, giop_tmpdir_init

And the check is performed in:
Gconf: gconf/gconfd.c, test_safe_tmp_dir
ORBit: src/orb/GIOP/giop.c, scan_socket_dir

the spurious warnings given by libORBit applications

Eventually, libORBit succeeds in locating and using the proper temp dir, but it
checks everything else and emits warnings about things it shouldn't care about.

positive example: gconfd's correct behaviour

Since I used gconfd as a positive example, here is how libORBit should behave:
notice how this warning is legitimate and how gconfd doesn't care about the
other, similarly named directories.

Thanks for your bug. That's known upstream:

Sorry, I forgot to check Gnome bugzilla. I'm changing the URL to another bug
report which discusses this.
