The problem occurred when launching script from maemo gui that
does `sudo /path/to/guiprog'. Now I added putenv("TMPDIR=/var/tmp") 
to my main() function and it works.
I don't know how long it will work, but that doesn't matter just now.

But, I'll have to remember that run-standalone.sh when testing...
