Sounds to me like you tried to run a kde tool, most likely systemsettings, with root permissions in a bad way and it ate permissions to your ICEauthority file. Use kdesu or kdesudo to run it next time perhaps.
Try this as root/sudo (it may need two colons on the latter, I always mix em up, but I don't think so):
chmod 600 /home/yourname/.ICEauthority
chown yourname:users /home/yourname/.ICEauthority

I get the same error, but I don'r have a .ICEAuthority file
This happened with a fresh install yesterday.
Thoughts?

Is that a typo? The A should not be capitalized. Ie, ~/.ICEauthority, not ~/.ICEAuthority.
