Hmmm. And you issued su user -c rxvt from a root terminal to test this? I
don't know that I could help diagnose this, but I do know it works fine

True. But /tmp is the only thing I needed to change any permissions
on--that for the sake of Sylpheed. But if other programs are installed,
perhaps permissions on other directories would need ot be changed as well?
