Hello;
 I am running FC4 Test.
I upgraded last night, a lot of it was xwindow stuff.

Now I cannot 'startx' as a user:
----------------------------------------------------------------
xauth: timeout in locking authority files /home/mick/.Xauthority

Fatal server error:
Cannot move old log file
("/var/log/Xorg.0.log" to "/var/log/Xorg.0.log.old"
----------------------------------------------------------------
(This was written down and typed in, right now I am in FC2.)

I can 'startx' as root.

I deleted the user mick and the home directory.
Then recreated it.
Also as a diferent user.
Same thing

thanks
   Mick M.
