I have the same thing since i update the version of Ubuntu. 9.04
( french too )

In the menu System, each timei click on the icon Synaptic ( in french it is : gestionnaire de paquet synaptic" )
there is this message :
"
Impossible de lancer /usr/sbin/synaptic en tant qu'utilisateur root.

Impossible de copier le fichier Xauthorization de l'utilisateur.
"
BUT : when i tape synaptic in a terminal, at least i can reach it ( so it function in a terminal ).

some guys who had that kind of problem sucess by taping in the terminal :
cd ./.. ( to go in the home )
sudo chown kyprio .Xauthority ( kyprio is my username )
but these command don't function for me.
