This doesn't seem to work too well though.  Revision 1.12 of cleartmp
correctly creates .ICE-unix and the other X11 socket dirs in /tmp in my
mfs /tmp filesystem.  Newer revisions fail to do this, for two reasons:

    The cleartmp_prestart() function runs only when the script runs with
    $1 set to 'start', but the boot process calls the script with
    'faststart'.

    Even when I change cleartmp to recognise faststart, onestart, start
    and forcestart, the cleartmp_prestart() function runs before
    cleartmp_start(), creates the directories, only to have them deleted
    immediately by cleartmp_start() when run_rc_command is called.

I'm not sure if there's a good way to modify cleartmp to do both things
correctly, at least without something equally hackish like:

    run_rc_command "$@" || exit $?

    case $1 in
    start|faststart|forcestart|onestart)
        clear_tmp_prestart
        ;;
    esac

or if it's better to make two cleartmp scripts :-/
