Seth, Your fix did work for me. Firefox (GTK3) and Evince worked as expected with the AA change. It appears that GDM is what decided where to put the Xauthority file. If I "dpkg-reconfigure gdm" and switch to LightDM then the Xauthority file appears in $HOME again.

It initially started when I tried opening a PDF attachment in Thunderbird. Saving the file to disk and opening via nautilus renders the same result. Trying to just open evince without a file doesn't work as well.
