Bug#851500: g-s-d tmp-cleaner uses wrong age metric, deletes sockets still in use

Package: gnome-settings-daemon
Version: 3.22.1-1
Severity: important
The tmp-cleaner checks whether a file's change time (ctime) is within
the last 7 days, not whether it has been accessed (atime) in the last 7
days.
This results in deleting long-lived sockets, such as those used by
emacs's server. The only reason it doesn't also break X is that the
.X11-unix directory is specifically excluded! Such special-casing is
obviously the wrong way to do things.
Ben.
