>Environment:

   X11, started from /etc/rc.local.

>Description:

   When using Xdm started from /etc/rc.local; X-related files can be
 left in /tmp.   Because these are left, a subsequent start of X fails.

>How-To-Repeat:

   Run X; then reboot.  After the reboot; X won't start.


>Fix:

   Apply the following diff to /etc/rc, which adds a line to remove
 any X-related files from /tmp.
