Another work-around seems to be to unset the environment variable
XAUTHORITY when upgrading or restarting atieventsd.
As in "XAUTHORITY= aptitude dist-upgrade".

Confirmed with xorg-driver-fglrx 1:7.1.0-8-3+2.6.24.12-17.35
I'm so glad I finally found a temporary solution to this other than
restarting X, it's been killing my productivity!
It seems that even just *stopping* atieventsd causes this problem. When
atieventsd closes, it runs:
/etc/ati/authatie
No, this sounds like the normal and expected mode of operation (the gui
update tools also run under sudo, AFAIK).
I have now found an easy way to reproduce:
/etc/init.d/atieventsd restart
You have to log out to get back to normal operation (or do
"/etc/init.d/atieventsd stop; chown $USER:$USER .X
I usually upgrades distribution and install packages by hand, with 'sudo
bash' in a terminal to get a root shell than do the work with 'apt-get'.
I guess this can be a problem for some config script in packages running
as user root but eg got /home/myuser/ as home directory, or something
similar?
reassigning to xorg-driver-fglrx

The same for me :) No gdm upgrade but something else, but don't know
which package exactly but yes, xorg-driver-fglrx is installed:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dpkg-query -W xorg-driver-fglrx
xorg-driver-fglrx 1:7.1.0-8-3+2.6.24.12-16.34
So maybe it's not about gdm but package xorg-driver-fglrx ?
Again today, after dist-upgrade. But this time gdm was not upgraded,
although xorg-driver-fglrx (which has atieventsd) was.
I tried to look deeper into this, and it seems that in this case it is
caused by atieventsd calling "xauth add/remove -f /home/xxx/.Xauthority"
as root, which triggers the ow
So I've altered the status to confirmed since this problem affects other
users too, it seems. For me, dist-upgrade often triggers this bug.

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

update / upgrade. Then no X clients could be run. Again. .Xauthority was
owned by the root user! After chowin'ing back to my user everything
continued to work, it seems.
