This is currently not really used and implemented only rudimentally. The
logic here will be that we place a symlink if we can. If we can't we'll
place a file with a DISPLAY value instead. This is not only necessary
for the poly-instantiated /tmp,  but also for remote displays.

(tbh though I find the idea of a poly-instantiated /tmp quite broken)
