Title:
  Hardcoded temp directory can prevent multi-user use

Status in Sikuli:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  The FileManager.extract() method always uses
  System.getProperty("java.io.tmpdir") + "/sikuli/" as the path for
  extracting resources. On Linux, this translates (by default) to
  /tmp/sikuli/, which means that a second user trying to run Sikuli on
  the same system will not be able to overwrite files in /tmp/sikuli/

  The workaround is to add "-Djava.io.tmpdir=<unique tempdir>" in
  sikuli-ide.sh, but it took a bit of work to track down why Sikuli was
  dying.
