Given the number of Google hits for the family of errors like "X:
/tmp/.X11-unix has suspicious mode" I think the Low priority set by
Bryce is too low.  Something is causing them and users doing recursive
`sudo chowns' on /tmp without regard for the consequences could well be
it.  It's agreed `chmod 1777' is wrong so let's get a fixed version out
there to remove the known causes and see if any others are left.
