Indicator fifopath should be relocated

[Andreas Heinlein]

I noticed that indicator.py tries to create a fifo in the extension directory. This does not work if the extension is installed as a shared extension for all users, as is the case when you make an Ubuntu package of it. I suggest creating the fifo in /tmp instead.

Yep, confirmed. I'm not sure using /tmp/indicator-fifo would be a good idea actually: what if multiple users are using Thunderbird at the same time?

Thank you for your bug report. I didn't think of that, but it should indeed be relocated then. I think it is best to create it in /tmp then, with some kind of unique name for the Thunderbird profile that's being used. I will let you know once it's fixed.

[Ruben Verweij (ruben-verweij)]

I have committed a fix in trunk. The path looks like this now: /tmp/thunderbird.tbindicator.dev-fifo498, where '498' is a "random" number.

[Ruben Verweij (ruben-verweij)]

Oh, and I forgot to mention: 'dev' is the name of the current profile.
