Matthieu Herrb 630e4c9386 Fix CVE-2011-4029: File permission change vulnerability.
Use fchmod() to change permissions of the lock file instead
of chmod(), thus avoid the race that can be exploited to set
a symbolic link to any file or directory in the system.

					X Server

The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows,
which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program
can draw into.

Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server
(or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager,
which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons
and draggable titlebars and borders.

For a comprehensive overview of X Server and X Window System, consult the
following article:
