This is not me, I read this recently on lists/PRs, but the stock definition of daily_clean_tmps_ignore doesn't protect X11 directories, only X11 locks files. I don't think that this may be a real thread (I Have some Xterminal servers and I can't see /tmp/.ICE-unix vanished). It only may become a thread if files under /tmp/.ICE-unix are not accesed often, but I think that adding .X11-unix, .ICE-unix and .font-unix to daily_clean_tmps_ignore in the stock /etc/defaults/periodic may not hurt. -- josemi
