running 4.5 stable. x was working for all.
then, since i wanted to use some apps that
i'd used before for benchmarking that had
filled /tmp i tried doing the following
taken from a fbsd book:

mkdir /usr/tmp
mv /tmp/* /usr/tmp
(following commands supposed to be used too,
but never got this far. got errors about
some files not being able to be moved. was
doing all this as root)
cd /
rmdir tmp
ln -s /usr/tmp tmp

Copied everything back to /tmp that had
been moved & checked ownerships & groups.
Everything looked like it had before. But,
now users can get into Gnome & the guide
loads & that's all. Zilch! Root can still
use X (but shouldn't, I know). Anyway to
fix this mess?
