Ok to reply to myself:
x just quit itself after about 3 mins (too impatient!)...
the error is:
/usr/X11R6/bin/xinit: Server error.
/usr/X11R6/bin/xauth: error in locking authority file /home/ej/.Xauthority
This was working fine, but just today it has stopped working. Only thing 
i have installed since was sudo.
sudo startx works, but loads the root session, i would prefer my own...
Any ideas?
