I've been experiencing this error for a while too, and reading the
comments above I see that ssh -X was a component of the issue for a lot
of people. I frequently log into this computer via ssh -X. I hadn't
thought to consider that as a potential part of the issue, before.
Looking at a backup .Xauthority I made when I was clearing it out to log
in again, I see that there are a lot of magic cookies inside.
