Something I noticed about kmag, I had it running and tried to open Synaptic, but it wouldn't load till I restarted and ran it without kmag running. Considering my computer's low disk space and RAM, that's why. I'd like to tweak it like arielenter says, but I need more guidance on it first.

I've already tried all this (minus the "touch"), but for good measure, I tried both again. I've also removed those locking .Xauthority-* files that appeared again. But When I reboot, or when I just go startx from tty2, I still get xinit: connection to X server lost.
