which will only help you until the next reboot since the latest baselayout 
nukes everything in /tmp on boot.

Maybe /tmp itself has not the right permissions?

ls -lh / would be nice.

  I rebooted into Linux a couple of days ago and tried to log into gnome,

  this:
  
  There was an error loading config from /apps/gnome-terminal/global.
  (Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you
  need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks
  due to a system crash. See http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ for
  information. (Details -  1: IOR file '/tmp/gconfd-michael/lock/ior' not
  opened successfully, no gconfd located: No such file or directory 2: IOR
  file '/tmp/gconfd-michael/lock/ior' not opened successfully, no gconfd
  located: No such file or directory))
 
 I'm a KDE user, so take my advice with a grain of salt. But I googled a
 bit, and you're not alone (even if your error is obscure). Unfortunately
 I failed to find a clear cut solution.
 
 However, you may try to start gnome with another user, or erase (move)
 your .gnome .gconf etc. and retry. It seems something in your
 configuration files is weird.

I fixed it.  Somehow some permissions on some directories on /tmp got
changed.  I changed them back, and it seems to be back to normal now...
