I just ran in to this today on a fresh Ubunutu Server 10.04.1 AMD64 install fully patched. Both my ~/.dbus directory and ~/.esd_auth were owned by root:root for some reason.
I had not seen the thing about .esd_auth reported so I just wanted to let you know. Maybe that will point to the component that is setting these permissions incorrectly.
