errno 11 is EAGAIN, "Try again".  How strange.

I would check the ownership and permissions and fullness of your /tmp
directory.  Make sure everything looks all right.

Also see whether there's a /tmp/.X11-unix directory.  Here's what I have:

unicorn:~$ ls -ld /tmp /tmp/.X11-unix
drwxrwxrwt 29 root root 73728 Apr 17 09:19 /tmp
drwxrwxrwt  2 root root  4096 Mar 26 08:02 /tmp/.X11-unix

Note the world-writability with sticky bits.
