There's actually one directory name that comprises of three dots in 
"/tmp/.X11-unix/.../rk". If it's there and not hidden you should be 
able to cd into "/tmp/.X11-unix/.../".

"Strange things" do not automagically a breach of security make. 
Most often the unexplained can be divined by looking at the omens 
(er, I mean read logs, check manual pages, search for clues), using 
other tools for second opinion and your distributions package 
management for verification.

You could check your distributions' documentation. I'm sure you'll 
find something about the function of /etc/alternatives. If that's 
not it then please post the relevant lines from your rkhunter.log.

Without details I vote "object request broker daemon".
