This too appears to be a good usecase for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR btw.
If I understand correctly this would only be available for logged in
users only. If /var/run is going to be a tmpfs in fc15+ (if I understand
correctly another message you posted in this thread) then that would
appear to be a better option to my eyes (the main Jack developers might
have other opinions/ideas, I'll try to keep them posted).
