I am not using TDM. I start X from the command line with startx.
Yet I see /tmp/tdesocket-global being created with the login user
having full ownership to the directory. The logged-in user can view
the contents of the directory, which is always empty.
Why is the /tmp/tdeglobal-socket directory being created when TDM
is not being used? What global socket connections are required when
Trinity is run without TDM or in run level 3?

I believe that this is exactly what I pointed out earlier:
http://trinity-devel.pearsoncomputing.net/?0::11083
When using TDM, folder /tmp/tdesocket-global is created by root and users does
not have access into this folder => it is the correct behaviour. But user
cannot create there kdesktoplockcontrol:
[kdesktop_lock] Warning: unable to create control
socket '/tmp/tdesocket-global/kdesktoplockcontrol-0'. Interactive logon
modules may not function properly.
When TDM is not in use, folder /tmp/tdesocket-global is created by first
logged user, but it is wrong in principle.
