This is because for security that directory does need to be owned by
root.  The conclusion of various discussions and confcalls was that
there was no way to make .ICE-unix be owned by root reasonably from
X.Org's side, so distros would have to be responsible for it.  I guess
the question is whether the rc script that does that, along with
the /tmp cleanup, should live in the base system or in the port.  My
opinion is that an x11 setup script should actually live in the base
system, as there's no other sensible central place to put it, unless we
were to have a single "X11 common misc stuff" port.
