Julien Cristau, Debian in this case would be Ubuntu's upstream. Are you suggesting Ubuntu deviate from Debian's bits here in this case?

They're from debian/local/xserver-wrapper.c. if ((statbuf.st_uid != 0) || (statbuf.st_gid != 0)) { (void) fprintf(stderr, "X: %s has suspicious ownership (not root:root), " "aborting.\n", X_SOCKET_DIR); exit(1); } if (statbuf.st_mode != (S_IFDIR | X_SOCKET_DIR_MODE)) { (void) fprintf(stderr, "X: %s has suspicious mode (not %o) or is not a " "directory, aborting.\n", X_SOCKET_DIR, X_SOCKET_DIR_MODE); exit(1); } In both cases it would help a lot, given the number of times these errors appear on Google, if the message included what the unexpected value(s) were, e.g. X: /tmp/.X11-unix has suspicious mode, 01755 is not 01777, aborting. X: /tmp/.X11-unix has suspicious ownership, 1000:0 is not 0:0, aborting. (If the `%o' were `%#o' too then the error would make clear the numbers are octal.)
