I had upgraded from Fedora 14 to 16 with a clean install, but
never saw this with 14, so it might have been that it appeared with
15. Also, it might be that previous versions had something else
that was clearing the tmp directory during the reboot process, but
is not longer being cleared out.

What would you recommend?
My current solution has been /etc/cron.hourly with this testvnc
This machine has 3 vnc users, most only have one thou.
run=`systemctl status vncserver@:79.service | grep running | cut
-b 20-26`
#echo $run
if [ -z "$run" ] ; then
rm /tmp/.X11-unix/X79
systemctl start vncserver@:79.service
rm /tmp/.X11-unix/X20
systemctl start vncserver@:20.service
rm /tmp/.X11-unix/X65
systemctl start vncserver@:65.service
