Description:

Xvfb was able to create /tmp/.X11-unix by itself. Now it seems it cannot, it returns:

_XSERVTransmkdir: ERROR: euid != 0,directory /tmp/.X11-unix will not be created.

I don't know which version broke, but 1.19.3-2 for sure worked. I don't know how to verify in this case if this is our issue or upstream. Can anyone with more experience in Xvfb share his opinion on this? If this is intended behaviour, is there any workaround to get Xvfb up in chroot?

Steps to reproduce:
Try to start Xvfb in chroot or build community/mayavi in a clean chroot (that's how I found the issue - and that's how I know 1.19.3-2 worked - mayavi was built back then).
This task depends upon

No longer an issue with mayavi as it seems.
