After installing xemacs form macosx ports I was finding it was taking several minutes to startup - looking closer I realised that X11 was taking the time not Xemacs itself.
In /var/log/system.log there were entries like:
Nov 25 14:01:29 lapc-br1-2 org.x.startx[366]: xauth: timeout in locking authority file /Users/ogs22/.serverauth.366
Nov 25 14:01:49 lapc-br1-2 org.x.startx[366]: xauth: timeout in locking authority file /Users/ogs22/.Xauthority
Checking the file permission on my home directory showed:
drwxr-xr-x 210 temp 502 7140 25 Nov 14:01 ogs22
temp being the user I created to transfer my files/settings using migration assistant, so a quick
sudo chown ogs22:ogs22 ogs22
and X11 starts in about 2 seconds now.
