In gnome 2.12 the services-admin utility mounts another memory filesystem on /tmp which will hide any previous files in /tmp. Since xorg also puts it's socket in /tmp launching any new x-application will fail. Fix: Sorry no fix, but the bug appears to be in one of the perl scripts in sysutils/system-tool-backends How-To-Repeat: Make sure you have tmpmfs="YES" in /etc/rc.conf then from the gnome 2.12 menu choose Desktop->Administration->Services or fom the commandline start services-admin.
