Subject:   Weird /tmp issues

I have been trying to move /tmp off the / filesystem. This has been
causing some weird X11 problems...

For example if I 

# mv /tmp /tmp.old
# mkdir tmp
# chmod 777 tmp
# reboot now

I then have problems running startx! (The screen and keyboard shut
down, forcing me to reboot the system from another system.)

If I move the old tmp directory back, the problem goes away.

I assumed /tmp was temporary, and that you should be able to boot with
an empty /tmp no problem.

Any ideas?
