I have the same problem with my gnome install. I'm running 7.0-RELEASE #0
with packages from 7-stable, and the same thing is happening. And the
permissions for /var/tmp are set correctly: when I look in /var/tmp after
the failure, it has created the file: it just claims that it can't lock
it.

Maybe it's a bug in the latest gnome.
