| 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.

On my CentOS 5.1 system, it looks like this:
drwxrwxrwt 8 root root 4096 Mar 10 21:19 /tmp

Don't forget the sticky bit.  It has security implications.
