Yes, it is stupid, and should not be on /tmp. .X0-lock should be on /var/lock (or /var/run). .X11-unix should be on /var/run or /var/state. xses-rodrigob* should be on my home diretory (maybe .xsessions/). And so one and so forth.
The x session files provide an interesting case, because many X apps will get angry if they're used over NFS, so any large-scale system (think ldap auth and automounted home dirs) would have issues. They should be somewhere not in /tmp, nor in /home. /var/tmp would potentially be a better place than /tmp
According to the default setup on CentOS4, tmpwatch seems also to clean up /tmp/var albeit less often than it does /tmp...
