No, but have you been using "sudo" for graphical applications? Seems
that can screw your ICE

This thread contains a number of other things that /might/ work
(although many posts are chown etc:

You could do worse that then reinstall steps I guess (as well as the
chown/chmod/rm).

Also this (more chown/chmod stuff):

I see many people suggesting "chmod 644 ..." as the answer, but I don't
see why "644" has any bearing (my own .ICEAuthority is "600").
