Public bug reported:
after doing the upgrade to intrepid beta (today), logging in via gdm
failed with the message "your session lasted less than 10 seconds, ..."
The .xsession-errors log has
mkdtemp: private socket dir: Permission denied
The reason was /tmp being unwritable
drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 12288 2008-10-12 19:27 /tmp/
I could fix the problem with chmod go+w /tmp
But did not reboot since, maybe the fix does not persist.
