Thanks so much for writing.
You are right in suggesting deleting .Xauthority and even more right
that this won't fix the problem. I tried that in an earlier installation
of 7.1 and it failed.
Let's hope somebody knows the secret word.

Actually it is. If you have a look at /etc/skel, you wont find an .xauth
file. Or am I missing something?
Dear friends:
Forgot to mention a key point: When I su to root, I have no problem
getting into KDE, and KDE works perfectly as root. It's only as user

Dear Civil Me:
I was talking about changing permission on sher's .Xauthority, NOT
root's. that is, logging into KDE, I went into the File Manager, cd'd

/home/sher/.Xauthority. But when I logged out of KDE, it remained root.
