Yes, it is easily reversible.
I changed /tmp to rwxrwtrwt (IIRC) and it's working fine.
But I've been stung by this once before, over a year ago.
is there some way to check the packages to see which ones have some kind
of chmod execution in them?
Otherwise I'll have to do a reinstallation with a point-by-point
verification of the /tmp permissions. Ugly, Long, but maybe it will get
me some Karma Points!! :)
while easy to fix, extremely frustrating.
