Your ~/.Xauthority appears to be broken - for whatever reasons.
Can this happen during working at the machine?
Yes, this happened to me. But I never was able to reproduce it by intention to investigate this issue. :-(
Or would it solve the problem if I delete the .Xauthority and start with a fresh one?
For this you would need the keys, which are only known by displaymanager or root user.
Such issues are very hard to reproduce. I suggest to make a copy when you start a Xsession and copy it back to ~/.Xauthority when this issue occurs.
But exactly here lies the problem. I do not always have a konsole or xterm open. So when I discover that there is something amiss, I will be unable to copy any files (unless I switch to text console, but this would be quite unconvenient).
Maybe you can create it in your ~/.xinitrc without user intervention. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
