    When I run Xconfigurator yesterday I checked /tmp...
    I saw, that it is making 2 type of tmp files
    XF86Config.tmp and dumbconfig.1 (.2 or sometimes .3)
    I maked link to another file:
    ln -s somefileicreated XF6Config.tmp
    ln -s anotherfile dumbconfig.1
    and when I run Xconfigurator I saw that it overwrites this files
    (somefileicreated and anotherfile).
    I saw that it creates it only when it runs X -probe
    
    So running Xconfigurator on multi-user system is dangerous...
