Help! I did a "chmod 777 -R /tmp" and now GnuCash won't run.

When starting gnucash from the console it outputs "wrong permissions for
orbit-ryasko".

The offending directories and permissions are below:

srwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            0 Sep 30 22:17 mapping-root
srwxrwxrwx    1 ryasko   users           0 Oct  1 16:17 mapping-ryasko
drwxrw-r-x    2 ryasko   users         584 Dec 31  1969 orbit-ryasko
drwxrwxr-x    2 ryasko   users         240 Oct  1 17:34
orbit-ryasko-a8e8c858

How can I get GnuCash working again?

Sorry about the prior uninformative post.

Thank you.
