I saw something similar about half a year ago on my Sid box. If I ever
rebooted, I'd have to change perms on a hidden directory in /tmp to root
ownership. I'm not sure which one, but I think it was either:

drwxrwxrwt  2 root  root     1024 2006-08-15 10:14 .ICE-unix

or

drwxrwxrwt  2 root  root     1024 2006-08-15 10:14 .X11-unix
