Hello!

After updating to XFree86 4.x I'm unable to start a local X session. I
can start XFree86 manualy, but startx or xdm give me the message 'X:
/tmp/.X11-unix has suspicoius ownership, aborting.'. After a reboot,
/tmp/.X11-unix is set to owner 'root' and group 'staff'. Setting group
as 'root' fixes the problem, so that I can run startx. Is there a method
to fix this problem permanently?

Thanks in advance
