Check the permissions on your home folder:
In Terminal run "ls -l /Users"
The leftmost part of the output for your home folder should be drwx
and you should be the owner and the group should be staff. (The name
of the folder will be the last item in the column.)

What type of file system do you have your $HOME on?

Hello everyone, English is not my mother tongue so may not be
exactly correct, sorry about that. Background:
I have a MacBook White (13-inch, Mid 2009) that isn't unibody, and
was running Leopard 10.5.
I did a clean installation and now Snow Leopard 10.6.2, with iLife,
iWork, and many many apps.
I am the only one who will use the Mac and my user account is as
the 'admin'. I previously had a problem concerning X11 too: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2343732
What I've done: (1) rename my HD to 'Michaels_Home' under 'Get
Info' from Finder (I can't rename in Disk Utility though)
(2) press return (enter)
(3) change my home folder path to the '/Volumes/Michaels_Home/Users/
Michael' (http://eshop.macsales.com/Reviews/Framework.cfm?page=Tips/relocate3/relocate3.html
)
(4) restart
(5) log in and open X11
(6) problem solved!! ========== *BUT NOW*I have a problem after:
(1) log in as the _root_ user, and use command +ditto -V xyz xyz+
to copy my home folder from '/Volumes/Michaels_Home/Users/Michael'
to '/Users>Michael'
(2) change my home folder path to the '/Users/Michael' (http://eshop.macsales.com/Reviews/Framework.cfm?page=Tips/relocate3/relocate3.html
)
(3) use the Mac OS X Snow Leopard USD$29 disc to boot my Mac up
(4) delete the 'Michaels_Home' partition (I had 3 partitions: (1)
Macintosh HD (2) Michaels_Home (3) Windows XP Professional)
(5) resize the 'Macintosh HD' partition
(6) boot from Macintosh HD
(7) find that there's a problem about X11 The problem: it takes a
*long time* for X11 to start. When I try to open the 'X11.app',
the X11 icon begins jumping on the Dock, but nothing happens.
Jumping and jumping... finally, it doesn't jump any more, with just
the X11 icon on the dock.
What's more, there is no white dot under the icon, which means the
app isn't running at the moment.
I right-clicked the icon, it shows me 'application not
responding'. So, I open the Activity Monitor, and I can see there
are 3 apps related to X11 are running:
(1) X11
(2) X11.bin
(3) xauth *At the moment now, if you would wait for about 1.5 min.,
X11 will open.* Please see below for the system log (from
'FREEZING' to 'WORKING')
