Public bug reported:

after doing the upgrade to intrepid beta (today), logging in via gdm
failed with the message "your session lasted less than 10 seconds, ..."

The .xsession-errors log has
    mkdtemp: private socket dir: Permission denied

The reason was /tmp being unwritable
   drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 12288 2008-10-12 19:27 /tmp/

I could fix the problem with chmod go+w /tmp

But did not reboot since, maybe the fix does not persist.
