It was really dumb. Just did an "ls -l /" and found the permissions
on /tmp was set to 776. So I set it to 777, and my problems are over, X
is working normally.
The reason it was set that way was likely due to a flurry of other
changes I made to /. It looked as though an earlier package made
directories directly on / for some reason. I eliminated those
directories, and for whatever reason known only at the time, set the
permission to /tmp to 776 without setting it back. So, this time, it was
set back to 777, and everything is back to normal.
