Wouldn't it make more sense to make TMPDIR the *primary* thing to look
at, and fall back to /tmp if TMPDIR isn't defined (rather than the
reverse)?

If somebody has set TMPDIR to something other than /tmp, than I would
assume they explicitly *want* applications to use that value instead
of /tmp.  Why would we want VLC to behave differently than other apps?
