Here's a dumb perl script that could be run from, for example, .xsession 
to automatically destroy expired ticket caches.

Would need a bit of trickery to make it go away on end of session and 
something in /etc/pm/sleep.d to send it a SIGALRM when the system wakes 
from suspend or hibernate.

It has a potential race between destroying an expired ticket and a new 
ticket being granted.

I guess now I'll look at a hack to rpc.gssd for a neater way of doing this.
