>Description:
It's a problem with pkgsrc (13.2.2005), X.org and NetBSD. The iceauth program can't create the /tmp/.ICE-unix directory for non-root accounts. And after each reboot is the /tmp directory clean. So startxfce4 and gnome doesn't start. 


>How-To-Repeat:
Reboot -> the /tmp directory is empty  -> startxfce4 and gnome doesn'n start for non-root accounts 
>Fix:
login as root  (startxfce4 or gnome)

or create after each reboot the directory with correct permissions

bash-3.00# cat /etc.rc.local
[...]
mkdir /tmp/.ICE-unix
chmod 1777  /tmp/.ICE-unix
