>Description:
startx fails to start x after a couple of successful log ins and outs.

I am currently having problems with kde which does not allow me to prompts me an error message and boots me out back to console. After a few successful startx attempts, startx fails with the following message

[code]
xauth:  creating new authority file /home/disappearedng/.serverauth.1313
xauth: (argv):1:  bad display name "home.lan" in "list" command
xauth: (stdin):1:  bad display name "home.lan" in "add" command
