>Description:

	Due to a problem with my pkgdb I decided to deinstall xmms and
	reinstall it again. I had to delete some dirs that were not deleted by
	pkg_delete (i.e. /usr/X11R6/lib/xmms) and just in case moved ~/.xmms
	to ~/.xmms.old.

	Now I got this after trying to launch xmms:
	
	[fernan@pi] xmms

	** CRITICAL **: setup_ctrlsocket(): Failed to assign /var/tmp/xmms_fernan.0 to a socket (Error: Permission denied)

	Is this a known problem? Launching xmms as root of course succeeds.
	The privileges on /var/tmp are:
	pi# ls -ld /var/tmp/
	drwxr-xr-x  17 root  wheel  2048 Jan 13 12:32 /var/tmp/

	I haven't touched anything so I suppose that it is OK for /var/tmp to
	be writable only by root?
	
>How-To-Repeat:

	pkg_delete 'xmms*'
	cd /usr/ports/multimedia/xmms
	make clean && make install clean
	rehash
	xmms
