I also feel that this should be critical, I have had this problem 3 times now. 
On a jaunty -> karmic upgrade, karmic fresh install and a karmic xubuntu fresh 
install. I thought chucking gnome would rid me of this problem? I get the same 
errors but looking at my system from a live cd I don't have a 
/var/lib/gdm/.ICEAuthority file, the /var/lib/gdm/ directory exists, with some 
slightly weird permissions though:
ubu...@ubuntu:/media/disk-1/var/lib$ ls -l
total 232
...
drwxr-x--- 11 avahi         messagebus    4096 2009-12-22 13:47 gdm
...
What do I do?
