I can login to X as root and see the menus and run everything but no
normal user can do this. I tested by creating a new user and tried to
login. The new user got the same results.
William, Bernd, Alexandro,
I'VE GOT THE SOLUTION!!! I feel good!
I went googling and was reading on fedoraforum.org, specifically
http://fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=21745&page=2&pp=15.
The answer is that the permissions on /tmp got set to rwxrwxr x and it
is own by root so regular users could no longer write there.
I ran "chmod -R 1777 /tmp" as suggested by tashirosgt and LinusLars on
that forum and voila! All users may login happily now. :-)
Now, I have to wonder ... Did a mal-written instruction execute in one
of those install scripts changing the permissions on /tmp?
Thank you for all of your time helping me work out this delima.
Alex
