Suppose not. I'm not at all an X guru, but these are sockets and should
only appear when X is running. The only other thing I stumbled across
are some lockfiles (for these sockets?), make sure there are no stale
ones around. But that's just a shot in the dark.

 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ll /tmp/.X*-lock
 -r--r--r--    1 root     root           11 Mar 24 03:19 /tmp/.X0-lock
 -r--r--r--    1 root     root           11 Feb 15 12:14 /tmp/.X64-lock

If all else fails, track the error message down in the source and check
what it's really complaining about.

HTH,
Nick
