Are you, by any chance, running tmpwatch ? I have seen this kind of thing happening on other distros. tmpwatch would remove files from /tmp related to X11 autentication, so the application would start, but X11 would not allow it to open.
Then either tmpwatch *or* X authentification would be really broken. hier(7) says explicitly that no application should expect files in /tmp to stay. And authentification cookies should be put into the users directory, not into /tmp (which AFAIR is the case).
I can see several xses-rodrigob.XXXXXX files on /tmp, along with files from ssh-agent, .X0-lock, .X11-unix, gconfd, orbit and others.
Yes, it is stupid, and should not be on /tmp. .X0-lock should be on /var/lock (or /var/run). .X11-unix should be on /var/run or /var/state. xses-rodrigob* should be on my home diretory (maybe .xsessions/). And so one and so forth.
