Bug in the latest gnome-core 1.4.0.3

[Christian Marillat <marillat christian wanadoo fr>]

Hi,

I found a bug related to read/write access to the /tmp/languages file.

The panel creates /tmp/languages when it starts up, and leaves it there. If
it can't open it (because it exists, because another user dared to start
panel before on the same machine), it dies.  This renders the whole of gnome
unusable on a multiuser box.

This is a grave bug (or even critical, as everyone else that uses the box
has *no* idea how to use it without gnome, so the whole system is useless).

What is the solution ?
