I saw that after an update to everything, but didn't have time to track
it down to a specific change.

I made that dir g+w and chgrp(1)ed it to video (seemed close enough),
to which each X11-using user already belonged.  The server started
working again.

Chmod 1777 might also be a resonable choice.
