Good idea. I know X seems to leave a lot of dot files in /tmp. Also, now that 
you mention it, I have had X fail to start when I have been playing multiple 
X sessions on a single box, and it left lock files that needed to be removed 
to use that screen#. May not be relatede but it's certainly work cleaning out 
the tmp files.
