I think it's still an issue in Intrepid with kde4 at least, in fact I don't when did this happened, but after an update/upgrade, I wasn't able to login from kdm, I looked at .xsession-errors and there was only one error: open: permission denied
I started a console login (by Ctrl-Alt-F2), no problem, and then after trying some programs (w3m, emacs,...) I got a message about an error with creating /tmp/xxxx, so I looked at the permissions of /tmp and it was like drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4096 2008-09-18 17:22 tmp so why it wasn't writable only for root, I tried to change this by sudo chmod o+w /tmp and then (Alt-F7) to return to kdm login, and HOORRA!!! I could login normally in a dek4 session so the problem is probably with bad permissions on /tmp. -- [Hardy] KDE4 logon failure: 'startkde: Could not start D-Bus.
