This question should be removed :
- 99% people don't care about what is the temp directory
- 99% of those who care will choose /tmp

Moreover, there is a problem if you click on cancel : no temp dir is selected.
Firefox takes 100%cpu and no applet can be executed until a kill -9 / restart of firefox, then choosing a temp dir and click on OK."

Bug description:
  If I use icedtea6-plugin (openjdk browser plugin) to execute java
  applets, the first time (after installing it) I load an applet, it
  asks for the temp directory (default is /tmp), with 2 buttons : OK and
  cancel.

  This question should be removed :
  - 99% people don't care about what is the temp directory
  - 99% of those who care will choose /tmp

  Moreover, there is a problem if you click on cancel : no temp dir is selected.
