unfortunately LSB means /tmp can and will be wiped during reboots, 
therefore we need to do this during startup... My suggestion would be to 
do this at boot time or in a wrapper script... which is FUCKING 
DANGEROUS since we're talking about a setuid root program

/me REALLY don't likes XOrg at the moment
