What version of xorg-x11-server did you have installed? The server should never lose the SUID bit unless you did something weird. Here are the first few lines from /var/log/Xorg.0.log X Window System Version 7.1.1 Release Date: 12 May 2006 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 7.1.1 Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.9-34.ELsmp i686 Red Hat, Inc. Current Operating System: Linux fedora-laptop 2.6.18-1.2868.fc6 #1 SMP Fri Build Date: 01 December 2006 Build ID: xorg-x11-server 1.1.1-47.2.fc6 After the default install of FC6, I removed Gnome and replaced it with KDE desktop. But I had been using KDE for some days before the problem occured. That package appears to have the correct permissions, and I can't reproduce the problem locally. So unfortunately, I can't work this bug any further. Please reopen if you can isolate the change that introduced this problem. I'm wondering if the problem was caused by me removing the default installation of GNOME, and then replacing it with KDE? I did this is a rather 'non-standard' way after GNOME was installed as the default desktop. I have found the option to install KDE by default now instead of GNOME, from the 'customize software selection' in the installation script. Hopefully this will prevent the problem from occuring again. |
