The .ICEauthority problem came from running a KDE3 utility as root. This was 
kensors displaying disk temperatures which required root privileges. Probably, 
the dcop did this.

I have stopped using this so no more problem. However, the principle remains.

My startkde scripts started out by resetting those permissions, at least for 
my loging since I am sudoer. This was a hack.
