This might be the route I need to take, as I don't want to modify the
initscripts RPM that provides rc.sysinit

That is what I was thinking too ... what is strange is that they (in
this case Red Hat) already do create /tmp/.ICE-unix but for whatever the
reason, they do not create /tmp/.X11-unix

I will open up a discussion about this on the RH message list.

I do make the freenx and nx RPMS for CentOS, so I could also create a
script that goes into /etc/init.d/ and does nothing more that create the
directory if it does not exist (as root) when the machine starts ...
which I can do if Red Hat will not modify their initscripts RPM.

That is what I found as well.
