Here is the content of .xsession-errors:

** (gnome-session:9546): WARNING **: Unable to read ICE authority file: /home/thort/.ICEauthority

Please, help me! What's wrong? What am I to do?

try deleting /home/thort/.ICEauthority

In the end, if you cant fix it maybe you should try out KDE. :D

Thanks Samoth !
