X server error

[Max Kamenetsky <maxk@chinook.stanford.edu>]

I just upgraded to the latest version of X in unstable and here's the
error I get when trying to run startx:

X: server socket directory has suspicious ownership, aborting
_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
giving up.

xinit then bombs out and tells me that it cannot connect to the X
server.  This only started happening after upgrading to the latest
version of X, namely 3.3.6-8.  Does anyone know of a quick fix?

Thanks,
