My guess is that this is related to the crash you recently vented hate about: something left some locks lying around, and now xauth is confused by them. Assuming that's true, `man xauth` suggests that: - running `xauth info` might show which authority file is locked - running `xauth -b list` might break the stale locks Though I didn't know until just now that X authority files ever got locked, so I could be wrong. I think the hate here would be for software that can't distinguish between a lock and random crash-turds. -- Aaron Crane
