[Fwd: Re: [kde-solaris] /tmp/mcop-username not owned by user]

[steleman]

Sorry if this is posted twice -- my email client is being flakey today.

This not good at all. I will have a patch for this when i get back from
vacation (next week).

Meanwhile, a temporary fix: create the /tmp/mcop-${USER} directory manually,
and set its correct ownerships and permissions manually as well. This
directory never gets deleted.
