A good idea.

Another candidate is a directory under $HOME.  I chose
/tmp/gnash-$USER because $HOME might be shared via NFS (like my
system) where confliction among machines may happen.

But, the swf file name is anyway not guaranteed to be unique, so far.
If you open a web page (or pages) with multiple flashes with the
very same file name, it wouldn't work properly...
