Hi Chris,
If it is space that concerns you, there is a cron setting available in yast2 that will clean the contents of /tmp on system boot.
yast2 -> Editor for /etc/sysconfig files -> System -> Cron -> CLEAR_TMP_DIRS_AT_BOOTUP
I have, usually when updating kde system files, dropped to runlevel 1 and deleted the entire contents of /tmp before returning to runlevel 5.
Everything in /tmp necessary for the system will be recreated.

Actually, that was going to be my next question; whether or not the temp files necessary for the system to function properly, such as the kde temp files, would be recreated if I cleaned the /tmp directory.
