This just happened to me as well today when I upgraded some packages. I
am running Kubuntu as well. I've just been upgrading whatever packages
are suggested, so I'm not exactly sure what version of KDE I'm up to.
/tmp is not a mounted directory for me, but a regular dir (not in mount
command, not in fstab).

** Description changed:

- Something keeps regularly changing the file permissions on /tmp so that
- it is not writeable by any user other than root:

  $ ls -ald /tmp
  drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 900 2007-05-03 19:27 /tmp
  
  so that user jobs which need to write temporary files fail until I

  revert to the wrong values again.
  
  /tmp is a tmpfs filesystem, specified in /etc/fstab as:
  /dev/tmpfs      /tmp    tmpfs   size=20g,noatime        0 0
