The same bug is there for mandrake-9.1rc1. If the libICE bug that creates 
/tmp/.ICE-unix with the wrong ownership/group cannot be removed, I suggest a 
workaround in /etc/rc.sysinit, where the lines: 
 
# Delete ICE locks 
rm -rf /tmp/.ICE-unix 
 
should be replaced with: 
 
# Delete ICE locks 
chown root:root /tmp/.ICE-unix 
rm -rf /tmp/.ICE-unix/*

Changing the ownership to root:root does not help as after a reboot, the script 
/etc/rc.sysinit 
deletes this directory by this command "rm -rf /tmp/.ICE-unix". 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.
