Nothing in /tmp should be expected to survive a reboot.
In fact, some people like to run /tmp as a tempfs (temporary file
system) - only problem is, a tempfs can get full if you aren't careful.

But you can write an init script to delete it all at shutdown (or
startup). Or just do what I do - ignore it, if space ever gets tight -
then I boot into runlevel 3 and clear it (you don't want to clear it
with X running)
