Verified in Trusty guest, via Trusty host with virtualbox. However, in the
Trusty guest, it has a more drastic issue, in that attempting to switched over
to Ctrl+Alt+F1 ->
Ubuntu Trusty Tahr (development branch) vm tty1
vm login: *starting [OK]
* Stopping Restore Sound Card State [OK]
and stops there.
The root cause of the problem here is /tmp was deleted, not that
xserver didn't check for the correct permissions on /tmp. However, given
one-off scenarios (ex. disk sector failures, maliciousness, etc.) it
wouldn't hurt to have this be checked for.

Title:
not checked permissions in /tmp
Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Hello, im not sure if its a bug in Ubuntu package, or in original
xorg-xserver source code, or if this even is a bug, but still....
Generally no one should face this, but i did.
As an error, i deleted /tmp folder. When i recreated it, i didnt
realize to switch back rights with "sudo chmod 777 /tmp", and X server
crashes if you try to start it without /tmp access
shouldnt X server check for it instead of crashing with SEGV signal?
