reassign 336226 libice6 retitle 336226 /tmp/.ICE-unix not created with correct permissions by startx thanks
X Strike Force, I'm not really sure if this should be upgraded to important and merged with 298770 as xfree86-common doesn't appear to attempt to create this directory. Maybe both these bugs should be merged and assigned to a different package?

Well something should and I don't believe it should be xfce4-session as we will never be run as root. For reference the errors found in .xsession-errors are: _IceTransmkdir: ERROR: euid != 0,directory /tmp/.ICE-unix will not be created. _IceTransSocketUNIXCreateListener: mkdir(/tmp/.ICE-unix) failed, errno = 2 _IceTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to create listener for local xfce4-session: Unable to establish ICE listeners: Cannot establish any listening sockets Simon. -- "The claw chooses who will go and who will stay" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
