Try creating a new user and login to your alternate desktop as that
user.  I'm not proposing this as the final fix, but it will at least
assure you that the system is working properly.


I suspect your problem is probably a .Xauthority file in your home
folder that is owned by root.  You should be able to simply delete this
file and try again.
