I recently built a new PC and installed Ubuntu 18.10. I am having issues with being logged out and returning to the login after opening certain Applications (Settings, Handbrake etc).
Logging in via startx and attempting to open these applications results in a similar logout with the following Xorg Error Stack Trace:

it appears modifying the .Xauthority permissions from -rw------- to -rwxrwxrwx prevents the logouts from occurring temporarily. After being logged out,.Xauthority permissions are reset to -rw-------
