I had a similar problem once. It happened everytime I launched K3B by su to root. It turned out that the ownership of ~/.Xauthority changed to root everytime I ran K3B as root. 'chown'ing the file back to my username everytime that happened allowed me to login. VJP -- Novitiate of the Knife, under the Master of the Sabre of The Holy Llamadieans.
