I have seen the same problem (I do not know if it is related to GDM, but this is with hardy).
At the moment it's particularly bad; .Xauthority reverts to root:root within a second of changing it by hand to user:user. It seems to be atieventsd which is the trigger of this (but possibly not the cause; I tried strace on it but it didn't seem to call chown itself). When I stop it, .Xauthority stays as user:user. -- After gdm upgrade no X cliens can be run https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196464 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
