Got a small problem with that file in ~/, but before I describe I'll see if I'm on the right track. That file's owner should be the user in who's homedir it is sitting, and not root.root right? Something is changing permissions, if that's not supposed to happen. The last problem I had was X would not start at all saying it could not find any screens (iirc), but I think it was specific to Gnome, because startxfce worked like a charm. The solution was to delete .ICEauthority and 2 other ~/.ICE.. files which I honestly don't remember, but also had root.root 600 permissions on them. Any ideas/input here?
