And happened again! My home directory IS writable, no disk full issue. However I found this:

lgb@vega:~$ sudo stat .Xauthority

So, ownership of .Xauthority file in my home directory went to root, I've no idea why. Can it be the reason of switching to /tmp/.gdm* files? Now, I deleted /tmp/.gdm* files, and reown to .Xauthority to myself. However this time, I get this:

Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyxterm Xt error: Can't open display: :0.0
