This is my very first post here so I do hope that it is both useful and 
accurate.  I have seen this happen and what I do to get around it is to log in 
as root, open a terminal, cd to my main user's space (.home/whatever) and delete 
the (hidden) file called .ICEauthority.  Once that is done I seem to be able to 
login just fine.  AFAIK this seem to happen when I burn a CD using KB3.  It 
doesn't happen to me that often as whenever I am done burning CDs I just remove 
the file before logging out.  You might also be able to chown the file back to 
the original owner with similar results although I have never done that.
