Did you mean server-socket-dir instead of server-dir here?  Yes, I guess
that'd be possible, but the user may change server-socket-dir without
changing the property...

We could literally just check whether the parent of server-socket-dir is
"/tmp" and only delete then.  It'd be pretty defensive, but should fix
this minor annoyance.
