[Bug 14353] Re: X auth cookie file privileges changed when using startx from within an X session?

[Shorin]

I think I caused this error when I did:

chown [my user name] /home/[my user name]

I fixed it by doing:

chmod o=u /home/[my user name]

I didn't like that solution, because I really wanted to be the only
person who would be able to access those files, but this is just my
desktop computer. I don't actually know how to fix it so that root and
[my user name] can be owners. I'm somewhat of a noob at linux.
