One way for this to happen is to "switch user" so that other user logs in on their own desktop. `echo $DISPLAY' will show something else on that second X server, probably ":20.0". So if one day that other user beats you to the machine, he gets :0.0 and you get lumbered with :20.0. Where is this script to run at boot time? It may also fail if the user's desktop isn't up and running by then.
