Yesterday I noticed Python apps started losing their skin/buttons.

I traced it down to this:

For some reason, TMPDIR is not set (or unset) in the user shell (it is still set in the root shell).
Because it is not set, python starts looking in /tmp for the sapwood-engine entry (/tmp/sapwood-:0.0), but is is running in /var/tmp. First exporting TMPDIR to /var/tmp before starting solves it for that session.

When I reverted back to busybox-power_1.19.3power1, TMPDIR was set again. Upgraded to busybox-power_1.19.3power2 again, and TMPDIR was gone.
Setting the export in /etc/profile or ~/.profile does not work. The problem does not occur in the bash shell.
I noticed this with recaller. I simply 'apt-get purge recaller', rebooted then installed again.

Currently I am running BB-P 1.19v2 with no issues to python programs.
