May I suggest that Tramp uses some other > variable for this purpose, perhaps a Tramp specific one? Is there a reason that it must be changed? What are the advantages? Does it hurt to keep the user option? And in the Tramp case, you break an existing interface. Users have been instructed to change the value of small-temporary-file-directory when needed. See (info "(tramp) Frequently Asked Questions"), which documents a user problem reported on the ML. Best regards, Michael.
