(gnome-terminal:16357): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified
are supported and host-based authentication failed.
Do you get this error every time in a session, or will you get that error randomly. I had a similar
problem where some things started as not my user, and I would get the auth issues to the Xserver.
Also, are you entering your GUI, by startx or gdm?

Seems random, thought once it starts It'll stay like this.

Sounds femiliar as I sometimes launch gnome-terminal as root ...
>> Also, are you entering your GUI, by startx or gdm?
If you are trying to launch a program as another user X will fail it, even if it is root. However,
you can, as your user, enter at your users term:
xhost +localhost
which will allow X to display all windows that start from your computer. A GUI-program should fail
when you are root in a term, and you logged into GDM as not-root. However if you log-off root in the
term and $ sudo <program> it sould work.
I got the same problem, but not randomly, it happens all the time. Even with xterm!
Strange enough, I never encountered this problem on any distribution yet
weird, no trace of such problem upstream. Do you have something in
~/.xsession-errors
