Lucid: "Could not update ICEauthority file /home/kevin/.ICEauthority

[Kevin O'Gorman]

I've got a system that seems to have stopped being so healthy around last
November.  It's still useable, but there's a nuisance factor.

It's running Lucid.  When running my main user, I get the message from the
Subject line, but I can click "close" and login proceeds normally.  I get a
usable desktop, too (I'm  composing this on it).

I've seen other complaints of the same general kind, but always different in
one of these things:
1) My login completes
2) My .ICEauthority is already owned by my user's UID and GID, permissions
0600.
3) My home directory is already permissions 0755 (though I don't actually
like that setup; I'd much prefer 0700).

I do not know what this file is for, but renaming it to something else
doesn't help either, so I renamed it back.

Any clues out there?
