OIC. Thanks!
This patch probably makes sense for some class of usage. I'm a little skittish because I think doing magic (e.g. "if I dont find a data container where I said there was one, make one in /temp_folder") might tend to bite folks. Also, doing "writes on reads" (explicitly commiting a transaction in the middle of a request-bounded transaction) is probably a bad idea because it might cause half of something to be committed inadvertently.
The "right" solution for this is to create some sort of analogue of "rc.d/init.d" for Zope where you can hook Zope startup and thus repopulate the temp_folder with the separate data containers then. I thought of this a while back but lacked the time to implement it.

Actually, we did have the Temporary Folder have the capability to automatically import its contents at system startup, but that got tossed out as being function inappropriate to a temporary storage container by executive fiat.
