Hi Christopher, another six weeks have passed and this bug still hasn't
had its correct status and importance settings restored.  As you changed
them, wrongly, it would seem a matter of taking pride in your work that
you restore them to Bryce's settings.  Or at least reply to my requests
with your argument as to why not.  No, this is not an April Fool's.  :-)

Title:
  The "suspicious" errors don't give sufficient information

Status in “xorg” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xorg

  Package xorg, version 1:7.5+5ubuntu1 on 10.04 is leaving error messages
  in log files, e.g.

      X: /tmp/.X11-unix has suspicious mode (not 1777) or is not a
  directory, aborting.

  They're from debian/local/xserver-wrapper.c.

      if ((statbuf.st_uid != 0) || (statbuf.st_gid != 0)) {
        (void) fprintf(stderr, "X: %s has suspicious ownership (not root:root), 
"
                       "aborting.\n", X_SOCKET_DIR);
        exit(1);
      }

      if (statbuf.st_mode != (S_IFDIR | X_SOCKET_DIR_MODE)) {
        (void) fprintf(stderr, "X: %s has suspicious mode (not %o) or is not a "
                       "directory, aborting.\n", X_SOCKET_DIR, 
X_SOCKET_DIR_MODE);
        exit(1);
      }

  In both cases it would help a lot, given the number of times these 
  errors appear on Google, if the message included what the unexpected
  value(s) were, e.g.

      X: /tmp/.X11-unix has suspicious mode, 01755 is not 01777, aborting.
      X: /tmp/.X11-unix has suspicious ownership, 1000:0 is not 0:0, aborting.

  (If the `%o' were `%#o' too then the error would make clear the numbers are 
  octal.)
