beware of apt-get upgrade

[Giacomo Lacava <g.lacava@gmail.com>]

Hi all,
running Sid and 3.4.2, yesterday I launched apt-get update && apt-get
upgrade, something I hadn't done for a while... and I've been reminded
why. On reboot, after logging on KDM, KDE wouldn't complete the
startup, complaining that /tmp/.ICE-unix didn't belong to root. I
verified that the directory is deleted at shutdown and recreated by X,
so I added "mkdir /tmp/.ICE-unix && chown root /tmp/.ICE-unix && chmod
1777 /tmp/.ICE-unix" to my bootmisc.sh script, and now everything is
back to normal.

However, is this approach correct? do you know where this kind of
operation is usually performed? and why didn't I experience any issue
until yesterday? I upgraded to 3.4.2 more than a few days ago and all
was ok.

cheers
