Something similar usually happens when one loses one's SSH connections
(typically caused by a crashed X server).
Try using 'xauth remove :10.0' and 'xauth remove /unix:10.0' to get rid of the
messages. But you may want to do a 'xauth list' and 'xauth info' to see if
you're using them first!

PS: 'xauth' is used to list the authority records in ~/.Xauthority for your X
server. There's a man page on xauth that explains the program.
