When I joined this advise I forgot one case that bit me in the past when I made /tmp “noexec”. Open Office (by Sun Microsystems). That beast (java based, BTW) when user starts it was creating executable for that specific user in /tmp, then started that executable. With all due respect to Sun and all good they have done/made, that was what really set me off. I do not know if Libre Office does similar thing though…
