As I've mentioned I'm not sure that it's caused by gdm or gdm upgrade but this problem occurs on larger upgrades and at least it seemed for me that gdm can be the reason. However I'm only sure in the symptom: no X clients can be run at one point (as far as I remember after upgrades), trying to strace them indicated that a file in /tmp/ directory can't be opened because of the root ownership, after chown'ing back to my user it works, so I assume that it was owened by me before (since X clients worked before) however something alterted the ownership of that file to root and this is the problem. I'm not sure that gdm upgrade caused this, though, only guessing.

/etc/gdm/gdm.conf is attached. However I'm not sure what king of log should I post here.
