WIPE_TMP="yes" is defined in /etc/conf.d/bootmisc After a reboot /tmp is empty. The user which logs on with kdm creates /tmp/.ICE-unix. X restarts if you log in as user with KDM and goes back to the login screen. If you run startx as the user from shell X shuts down (see below). Chowning /tmp/.ICE-unix to root:root fixes this problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set WIPE_TMP="yes" in /etc/conf.d/bootmisc 2. Reboot 3. run startx as non-root or log on normally via kdm Actual Results: X shuts down with _IceTransmkdir: ERROR: Owner of /tmp/.ICE-unix mut be set to root kde-base/kdm-3.4.2 x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r2 # emerge info Portage 2.0.51.22-r2 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.3.6, glibc-2.3.5-r1, 2.6.12-gentoo-r10 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.12-gentoo-r10 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) Processor Gentoo Base System version 1.6.13 distcc 2.18.3 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [enabled] ccache version 2.3 [disabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5, 2.4.1-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r10 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.18-r1 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O3 -march=athlon -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=athlon -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig buildpkg distcc distlocks fixpackages sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.tu-clausthal.de/pub/linux/gentoo/ ftp://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/Linux/gentoo http://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/download/gentoo-mirror/ ftp://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/gentoo-mirror/ rsync://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/gentoo/ http://mirrors.sec.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/gentoo rsync://mirrors.sec.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/gentoo http://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/mirrors/gentoo ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/mirrors/gentoo ftp://ftp.join.uni-muenster.de/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo rsync://ftp.join.uni-muenster.de/gentoo/" LINGUAS="de" MAKEOPTS="-j19" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/gentoo-php-overlay/for-portage /usr/local/gentoo-php-overlay/experimental" SYNC="rsync://otrs.aiti-group.de/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 3dnow 3dnowex 3dnowext X aac acl alsa apache2 apm arts avi berkdb bitmap-fonts crypt cups curl emboss encode esd fam foomaticdb fortran gd gdbm gif gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml hal imagemagick imap imlib ipv6 java jpeg junit kde ldap libg++ libwww mad mikmod mmext mmx motif mozilla mp3 mysql ncurses network nls ogg opengl pam pdflib pic png python qt quicktime readline real samba sdl slang spell sqlite sse ssl svga tcltk tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts vhosts win32codecs xml2 xv xvid zlib video_cards_radeon linguas_de userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS
