'A VNC server is already running as :10', but it isn't!

[Greg Breland]

I see this all the time on my Linux box when I reboot the computer without running a
"vncserver -kill :10".  It usually complains that there is a .pid file not in ~/.vnc
but in "/tmp/.X11/" or something like that.  Deleting the appropriate lock file
fixes the problem.
