gconf and orbit put their files in $TMP. which could be either /tmp
or /var/tmp depends on its value.

This is a very true analysis. I think this particular scenario was
never a requirements for the most GNOME developers as they would not be
part of the user base or development environment. So I think this would
be a bug that one need to fix I guess.
There is already a bug logged that orbit does not clear up all the
socket references in /var/tmp/
also another bug has extended gnome-cleanup script to clean up /var/tmp

Doing it with a script in /usr/dt/config implies dtlogin is the
login manager and that does not work with gdm as login manager. Doing
this in gnome-session may be the common place to put it before gconfd-2
is started. Of course there is the consideration that the user has
login in more that once, one with Sun Ray card, the other with non Sun
Ray card.
Meanwhile I think it would be easy enough for actual deployment to
put a script in /etc/dt/config if the sys admin knows that all the Sun
Ray users is using dtlogin. Or use the same script in a different place
such as /etc/X11/gdm/Init for gdm.
