The problem appeared after an upgrade of gnome-session and a logout. But only one user is concerned: an .ICEauthority used by an other user only with kde has a good owner. I may have used Synaptic as root but I don't understand how it could have bad $HOME. I tried with su and gksu but owner is preserved. I know that I have not forced HOME=/home/olivier.
