Version: (using KDE KDE 3.1.1) Installed from: Compiled From Sources Compiler: gcc-3.2.2 OS: Solaris After booting solaris '/tmp' is cleared, so '.ICE-unix', '.X11-pipe' will be created when starting KDE the first time after reboot. These files are created as: >ls -la /tmp/ drwxrwxr-x 2 <user> <grp> 254 Jun 30 13:01 .ICE-unix drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 176 Jun 30 13:01 .X11-pipe drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 176 Jun 30 13:01 .X11-unix instead of (from my linux box): drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 48 2003-06-16 11:33 .ICE-unix drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 48 2003-06-16 11:34 .X11-unix so, KDE can only be started by members of <grp>, no one else. Somewhat annoying if you don't know what to look for when you are not allowed to login ;)
there were more reports of this type, but i'm not eager to find them. in any case it's not a kdm (or kde at all) problem. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 33618 ***
