Cannot startx nor login to X as a user


I upgraded to 2.6.0-test11 kernel. It seems to be faster in gui , but now i cannot login to X as user. But only if i use my old account. Newly created users can login without problem. It says something about .xauth cannot set lock to .Xauth and gdm-session cannot set lock to .ICE . Any idea what this means? I tried to remove user with my name back and forth delete all the dotted stuff in my home and nothing helped. Please HELP ME !
