Likely /tmp is the fallback for unset XDG_CACHE_HOME as I have in my current setup--strange, given that the basedir spec says $HOME/.cache should be used--but that's immaterial.

The real issue is a user-experience one: when we crash (fairly often, unfortunately), we leave behind a lot of potentially large video files, and disk or tmpfs space can disappear with midori implicated as the culprit. I don't know if webkit can do much about this, since it doesn't know about application lifetimes but maybe we should push it upstream just in case they can. Or maybe we can get webkit to namespace these temporary files to the midori config dir (e.g put them in a subdir that's a hash of the config path?) and delete the config dir's old ones on startup.
