Verified in Trusty guest, via Trusty host with virtualbox. However, in the
Trusty guest, it has a more drastic issue, in that attempting to switched over
to Ctrl+Alt+F1 ->
Ubuntu Trusty Tahr (development branch) vm tty1
vm login: *starting [OK]
* Stopping Restore Sound Card State [OK]
and stops there.
The root cause of the problem here is /tmp was deleted, not that
xserver didn't check for the correct permissions on /tmp. However, given
one-off scenarios (ex. disk sector failures, maliciousness, etc.) it
wouldn't hurt to have this be checked for.
