Error: "mkdtemp: private socket dir: Permission denied"?

[Not sure if this is a Debian question, or an XFree86.]

I've set up my first Debian X-Windows system recently. I've been able
to log in as root and execute "startx" without a problem. When I try to
log in as a normal user, I get "mkdtemp: private socket dir: Permission
denied" in ~/.xsession-errors. I can't find any information on mkdtemp,
or on which directory or socket the permission needs to be changed, and
how. Can anyone help me with this problem?

I tried doing a Google search on mkdtemp on site:debian.org and
site:xfree86.org without success.

Thank you for your help and suggestions.
