Well, Xgraph is right, there is no directory /usr/tmp. There may be a 
possibility to tell Xgraph is should save its temporary files to /tmp or
/var/tmp, those are the places it should use. If you can't learn Xgraph 
to behave as it should you could create a symbolic link from /usr/tmp to /
tmp:
"sudo ln -s /tmp /usr/tmp", or was it "sudo ln -s /usr/tmp /tmp"? I 
always forget which is the right order.
