What about sockets in /tmp/.X11-unix? Or other X-related things, like
the GNOME session manager, orbit, etc?

I want to be able to leave my session running (locked of course) overnight...

Note that I do agree that /tmp should be able to be cleaned every day,
however before this is a reality a lot of software needs to be taught
The Right Way(TM)...

BTW, isn't this becoming a -ports issue? (screen, X, etc)
