I believe that if you chown these files in your home directory, you should be able to clear this problem.

Re: Fedora 9 installation problem
2008/7/21 Oz Bonfim [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I've just installed Fedora 9 on my computer. I got the following message: The GNOME session manager was unable to lock the file '/home/bonfim/.ICEauthority'. Please report this as a GNOME bug. Sometimes this error may occur if the file's directory is unwritable, you could try logging in via failsafe session and ensuring that it is. Can you help me with logging in via failsafe session ? or any other way. Thanks, Oz -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Hi Oz! I get a lot of hits if I Google ICEauthority. I would: 1. Start a terminal. 2. Do a cd /home/bonfirm # Go to the home directory 3. Do a ls -l -a # List all fines (even hidden (-a)) in long form. This shows ownership and permissions of all the files and direcories. You could do a ls -l -a .ICEauthority since that is the file you really want to check. 4. If the owner is not bonfirm then su # Obtain super user authority 5. Then chown bonfirm:bonfirm .ICEauthority # Change owner to Bonfirm. Note what the owner was before doing this - that may well tell you which progam is changing this file. Also, check the SELinux policies of the file. Good Hunting!
