In an ssh session that had begun a couple days before, I tried to start
an X application, which failed with:
X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication
Investigation revealed that $XAUTHORITY, /tmp/xauth-<user>-<pid>/Xauthority,
was gone; the write time on the directory matched when clean_tmp_areas
ran from cron. So, I guess this is an unfortunate result of fixing
clean_tmp_areas...
