Bug#525641: file-roller: uses $HOMEDIR as temporary directory

Package: file-roller
Version: 2.24.3-1
Severity: normal

When I open a .zip file (in environment TMPDIR=/tmp/galeon-c6M3Kc) and
double-click on a file in it (or right-click and choose "open"), the
file is extracted to a newly created subdirectory of my home
directory, named e.g.

.fr-XQVcIh
.fr-ScG8Kh
.fr-5ykB3x
.fr-mxWj4Y
.fr-drwGXj
.fr-gofNYL
.fr-fSuarq

an strace shows, e.g.:

 execve("/usr/bin/7z", ["7z", "x", "-bd", "-y", "-o/home/master/.fr-XQVcIh", "--", "/home/master/.fr-fSuarq/mmass_v2.4.0_source.zip", "mmass_v2.4.0_source/readme.txt"]

It should use (a subdirectory of) $TMPDIR, with fallback to /tmp/ or
/var/tmp instead of my home directory.

The same for the downloaded .zip file itself; it does not belong in my
home directory, but in the temporary files directory.
