I had this happen to me once, and found that the permissions for a ton of 
files changed from my username to the numeric userid (and the wrong one at 
that).  Since the userid was "502" (this was a while ago.  Could have been 
501, instead), instead of "glenn", I was refused access.  All of the affected 
files had the lock icon.  I used Konqueror as root to change them to "glenn", 
and all was well again.
