           Summary: way for normal user to override /tmp/dogtail
           Product: dogtail
           Version: CVS HEAD
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal

   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


Please describe the problem:
Dogtail uses /tmp/dogtail as its working directory (this can be changed but
requires root to edit /usr/<SOMETHING>>).

Can a command-line option be added so that a normal user can specify the
directory within which to work.  That way multiple accounts can run dog tail
without any possibility of interference.  For batch based build systems, this
would also allow the specification of a working directory within the build tree
(makes cleaning up easier).

(I also wonder if the default should be /usr/dogtail.PID)

Does this happen every time?
