On Fedora it is created via systemd's tmpfiles mechanism, and in fact provided 
by the systemd package so it will be on all machines.

I'm using it on a RHEL6 server with no native/local X server.  The X server 
itself will create the directory if it doesn't exist, but will abort if it 
already exists but with the wrong owner or permissions.
