[Bug 836876] [NEW] not checked permissions in /tmp

 

Public bug reported:

Hello, im not sure if its a bug in Ubuntu package, or in original xorg-
xserver source code, or if this even is a bug, but still....

Generally no one should face this, but i did.

As an error, i deleted /tmp folder. When i recreated it, i didnt realize
to switch back rights with "sudo chmod 777 /tmp", and X server crashes
if you try to start it without /tmp access

shouldnt X server check for it instead of crashing with SEGV signal?
