If the xserver is shutdown normally the file is removed but if it's killed
or exits unexpectedly, the file remains. This is not a problem on linux since
the xserver has root privileges by default and can force the removal.
I've changed the source to create the .X11-unix directory without the sticky
flag. Removeing the directory should recreate it with the correct flags.
