Thank you for your feedback, Gre0. Can you please give context on your previous situation, i.e., were you ever hit by the bug as currently described or were you just testing the .2 update, realized you could not login anymore (I assume you could login normally in .1, right?) and traced it back to here?
What anyway bugs me is that the patch[1] in that Mutter update does not change logic pertaining to the ownership check, it just makes the error messsage more verbose. Also the ownership of / is not checked, just /tmp and /tmp/.X11-unix, can you confirm you wrote sudo chown root: / correctly?
