Those are the sockets used by GNOME's corba stuff. You can safely
ignore them - unless the names are not according to the way GNOME
names them.

ObQ: Why doesn't RedHat clean up /tmp on bootup like FreeBSD does? Is
there a setting for this somewhere? IIRC, the FHS says /tmp is for
temporary files that shouldn't persist across reboots, and /var/tmp
for temporary files that need to survive a reboot.
