Periodically the .Xauthority file seems to get corrupted. At least, I am unable to launch any program because "Xlib cannot connect to 0:0". If I logout I am unable to log back in using kde although I can log in via the console. If I change to runlevel 3 and log in and run startx, everything works okay. I discovered last night that if I delete the .Xauthority file everything works as per normal. Does anyone know what is going on and how I can fix it? I am using SuSE9.0 and KDE3.2. Thanks in advance.
