This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
I saw that too. Recreating .Xauthority helped. I think something we did before F11 forked made it incompatible. John, can you check if removing .Xauthority helps?
