This is where debian puts it and where it is:

# This will be passed to all mysql clients
[client]
#password   = my_password
port        = 3306
socket      = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

srwxrwxrwx    1 mysql    mysql           0 Dec  9 21:19 /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

Is mysqlgui hardcoded to /tmp?

Yes, of course the server is running. I connect with mysql client and
php has no problem. It's *only* mysqlgui that can't connect.
