Hello,

I found the reason why ~/tmp was used as default server file location. I had 
set the
variable EMACS_SERVER_FILE in my .bashrc. I have eliminated that entry from the 
.bashrc.
Weirdly the variable nevertheless was set when starting X. After some reboots 
this
phenomen vanished. I do not know why, but it seems a systemd feature to have 
some kind
of caching here.

emacsclient works now as expected. Thanks.

Best Regards Stefan.
