Pleae check if you have write to your home directory and especially that the
file $HOME/.ICEauthority has write access
$ ls -al $HOME/..
drwx------+   4 Habacker Kein            0 Oct  1 15:40 ./
drwx------+  11 Habacker Kein            0 Oct 16 12:21 ../
drwx------+  19 Habacker Kein            0 Oct 22 23:17 Habacker/
drwx------+   4 Habacker Kein            0 Oct  1 15:39 system/

$ ls -al $HOME/.ICEauthority
-rw-------    1 Habacker Kein         1950 Oct 22 23:10
/home/Habacker/.ICEauthority

Please report if this helps, because this is a problem which is reported
from time to time and we like to know if this helps.
