Package: xfce4-session
Version: 4.2.2-1
Severity: normal

Hi, 

I think I found why my XFCE4 fails to start when starting it via startx.
It seems that the .ICE-unix directory in /tmp is created as the current
user, but the session-manager needs the directory to have root as owner.
IIRC XFCE4 from kdm works, because kdm ist run as root and creates the
.ICE-unix directory. 

If startx is actually supposed to create the .ICE-unix directory then
please move this bug over to the proper X11 package.

Andreas
