Again today, after dist-upgrade. But this time gdm was not upgraded,
although xorg-driver-fglrx (which has atieventsd) was.

I tried to look deeper into this, and it seems that in this case it is
caused by atieventsd calling "xauth add/remove -f /home/xxx/.Xauthority"
as root, which triggers the ownership change. Do you have this installed
(xorg-driver-fglrx)?

In any case, to debug I made a simple shell wrapper for xauth which logs
when it is called and who calls it. Let me know if you need this.
