ok, I was wrong. My testing account did have a .xsession from a previous test that caued the failure. With the real default Xsession it still starts. But I tend to agree with Theo that these backup strategies to write to /tmp when one cannot write to $HOME are wrong. Linux, systemd and XDG have inventend this /run/user/$uid tmpfs that is created automagically and they use that in place of /tmp for volatile things that don't beloing to $HOME, but this is not a can of worms I want to open now. -- Matthieu Herrb
