I am running Stable, Testing and Unstable and in no version I have this problem. But I have encountered that some x-window-terminals doing bizzar things (XTerm inlusive)... Since XTerm erase my ${TMPDIR} I have to use a secial login version... Maybe this "feature" hit on some systems aptitude too...
