PCManFM tries to write to /build tree

Bug Description

Binary package hint: pcmanfm

Ubuntu: 8.04 LTS
PCManFM: 0.5-1~hardy1

Every time pcmanfm exits, it tries to write a whole bunch of profiling files to /build/buildd/pcmanfm-0.5/src/. If it is running as root, it creates the whole tree. If it is not root, it complains, spitting out a long list of error messages.

This is very easily seen if you run "pcmanfm" from the command line (not as root) and then close the window.

Profiling should be turned off for the release.
