I saw Reindl's reply first and his advice worked:
the folder with the correct permissions is important
/tmp needs chmod 1777 (everybody is allowed to write
but only the onwer can open his temp-files)
mkdir /tmp
chmod 1777 /tmp
I did not try your suggestion, it does look like it would work too.
# mkdir /tmp
# restorecon /tmp
# reboot
is probably all you need
Thank you very much for taking the time to read and reply to my email!
