this is not a problem since X is setuid root (which means it start with root permissions whatever user start it). You should looks after file in the user for which it fails : ls -l .X* I would do: mkdir ~/backup mv ~/.Xautthority ~/backup then retry startx. Well those are just mind reading guesses. If you send me logs, output and errors it may be easier to help out with this problem. Though this is not a gdm bug. gdm does not mess with those files (be they /var/lo g/XFree.0.log or ~/.Xauthority ). It just check your passward and start X.
