The directory /tmp is a special one. When you "stat" it, it shows a 1777 mod ie drwxrwxrwt. Well, it's the same for .X0-lock, .X11-unix and .font-unix.<br><ul>"t" means that the files 
in the directory can only be deleted by the owner
even though the directory is world writable.</ul><br>
So after a "mv /tmp /no_more_room/tmp or a rm /tmp", just do:<br>
<ul><li>mkdir /tmp<li>chmod 1777 /tmp</ul><br>
To re-create it with the correct permissions.
You <b>have to</b> do that if you want your x font server (xfs) to be working properly.
