On my workstations I get around this problem by running
clean_tmp_areas out of reactivate, rather that a cron entry. Since
reactivate only runs when no one is logged in, this has the effect of
implementing Greg's suggestion without C code or brittle shell
scripting. Of course, it has a different set of failure modes, but
I'm more prepared to deal with those on my personal machines.
