If you your permissions are now drwxrwxrwx you can set the sticky bit by sudo chmod o+t /tmp, I think it is better.

The most common default for /tmp is drwxrwxrwt

(The sticky bit is set for others, so people from outside the user/group can't delete other people's files from /tmp, see:

On my system with the same problem, I was then trying to start with startx, and it appeared the non-root users couldn't write a keyboard file to /tmp because the permissions were too restrictive. Fixed by:

sudo chmod a+w /tmp
