Session problems (again)

[Richard Hult <rhult hem2 passagen se>]

There have been many people reporting about session problems. Does anyone
actually know what the problem really is?

The symptoms are that the session takes forever to start and end, and then
when you start any gnome app, you get a message like this:

GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
Authentication Rejected, reason : MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 authentication
rejected.

The thing that happens before the actual WARNING is shown is that the app
reads the file ~/.ICEauthority.

Sometimes it can be solved by removing ~/gnome/session.

This happened to me when running the gnome version that comes with RH6.0,
but also with the latest version of everything from anoncvs.
