    I have had problems with permissions in /usr/X11R6
    I set them #chmod 755 -R /usr/X11R6/
    does that look right?
    that has worked in the past.
    I was told to remove files in /tmp relating to dcop or orbit ( sorry I
    forgot and I am not on that machine because x only works for root and I
    have yet to figure out mutt ;-) )
    I have messed with permissions in /tmp
    what user & group should /tmp be?
    at this time the only twm for regular users though I cant open any apps
    like kmail or evolution or mozilla
    $kmail
    trying to creat local folder:Permission denied
    failed to create /tmp/ksocket-tripolar/
    _KDE_IceTransSocketCreateListener: failed to bind listener
    ....
    DCOPServer self test failed
    kdeinit: DCOPServer could not be started
    .....
    Can't setup DCOP communication

    Any suggestions? again I messed up /tmp user & group & permissions. need
    to know the correct user, group and permissions of /tmp
    also anything relationg to dcop & permissions to get reg users to log
    into x from gdm
    Thanks
