Bug description:
  The socket placed in /tmp is predictable and public-writable. Therefore
  if one user placed a symlink to another socket instead of socket for
  another use then said another user will either be unable to get menu, or
  will receive menu of some other user. Upstream released a fix for this
  issue:
