[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. -Kevin Zembower ----- E.
