I had a similar problem, although in my case, I suspect it's due to some
cheap hardware.
At any rate, before starting X try
xauth -b quit
This will break any locks. (If your problem has similar causes as mine
did, there will be an .Xauthority, and a couple of others--.Xauthority-c
and .Xauthority-l, if I remember correctly.)
Your description sounds as if it is similar, so perhaps this solution
will help.
