Description David Nielsen 2006-01-24 15:00:21 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20051215 Epiphany/1.9.5.1

Description of problem:
Running Rawhide as of 24-01-06 I am unable to log in to GNOME as a user (commandline works fine), root however can log in via gdm just fine.

Trying to su to a fresh useraccount and running a program yeilds:

[foobar@price root]$ evolution

** ERROR **: I can't write to '/tmp/orbit-foobar', ORB init failed
aborting...

(this error message is repeated infintely)

Logging in via gdm as a user yeilds a message saying that my session lasted less than 10 secs.

This happens both with selinux=0 and on a regular SELinux enabled boot

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ORBit2-2.13.2-2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. log on as user via gdm


Actual Results:  2. cry as you are rejected

Expected Results:  2. displaying of beautiful FC5 desktop, joy and possibly world domination

This turned out to be wrong permissions for /tmp, how this happened I don't
know.. any idea as to which update could have reset it to wrong permissions?

no idea. I assume this is fixed now ? If not, reopen.
