------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-02-05 08:20 ------- I feel like I have seen that for years. I remember putting few lines that changed the ownership or maybe simply deleted it in .bash_profile It is true that X starts much faster if this directory is own by root or does not exist.

So when /tmp/.ICE-unix/ is recreated it has ownership of the non-root user. According to http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-hackers/2001-September/msg00176.html , this adds 5 secs to the startup of the desktop (KDE, GNOME) and is also a security risk. Also, the page https://listman.redhat.com/pipermail/enigma-list/2002-June/014027.html claims this to be a bug of libICE (which is part of XFree86-libs). Please fix this so that /tmp/.ICE-unix has default ownership of root:root.
