Xorg has handed the ball over to OS vendors to make sure that the .ICE-unix
directory is already there and have the correct permissions before client
applications are started by modifying libICE to reject client applications if
the socketdir permissions are wrong in recent Xorg releases.
'GNOME handles that stuff correctly' is not correct, GNOME just doesn't use
libICE at all (xfce4 does however, and is affected by the same issue). Client
applications can't really do anything about the socket directories, the best
way to ensure they have the correct permissions is to create them during
system-startup.
