Is the error "Cannot create /tmp/.X11-unix ..." significant?

Running XWin release 6.8.2.0.4 to display a Linux desktop using xdmcp.

In the startup window I get the error:-

    _XSERVTransmkdir: Cannot create /tmp/.X11-unix with root ownership

Everything seems to work OK though, apart from the cut/paste problem
I've reported in another thread.  Does the above error message
indicate anything wrong?

I have tried manually deleting /tmp/.X11-unix but it just gets
recreated, owned by me.
