That's the /root/tmp directory that's listed, not /tmp. You're right,
/tmp should have 1777 permissions, but /root/tmp should be 700.

What should the permissions be inside /root/tmp for X stuff ?
Mine looks like this...
[root: ~/tmp]# ll -d .
drwx--2 root root 2048 Jul 6 11:31 ./

The people on cooker have answers, but you just have to be careful not to
ask too many non-cooker related questions, I guess.

Have you tried re-creating this directory? sorry if you already stated
this in an earlier post. I don't have that one in my inbox any longer, but
it seems to me that would be the next logical step in the process.

Oh, wait! When you `ls -ld /tmp` do the permissions read:
drwxrwxrwt
If not, `chmod 1777 /tmp`, which should fix your permissions. Try
starting X again.

Generally, it's exactl
I would like to add a question here if I may; I'm used to Windows where the
'temp' directory is for temporary stuff and should be dumped periodically.
What is the /tmp directory in *nix used for and why can't I delete it's
contents?

Experts -
Like an idiot, I accidentally deleted my /tmp directory.
I recreated the directory, but after rebooting, X fails to
start. It seems to be stuck in an infinite loop trying to
start X or KDM.
I can boot into text mode fine.
What can I do to get X back up and running...
