If you have set TMPDIR, then this has already been reported, but I don't remember which bug report. You just need to unset TMPDIR before running startx and it should work properly. Apparently the package tries to rename using a hard link from the file in TMPDIR to /tmp. Stupid... -- Carl Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
