Don't know why this happens, but here are the necessary steps to solve
the problem:

1- Open nautilus as root;
2- Find hidden file (.ICE authority) in your home folder (not root);
3- Change permissions to "read and write" and click "Ok".

Not sure about that one, but you may find something here:

This often happens if you use 'sudo <some graphic application>' instead
of 'gksudo <some graphic application>'. See:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo

You can safely delete the ~/.ICEauthority file and reboot. the
.ICEauthority file will rebuild itself & you shouldn't have that error
any longer. Note: I recommend deleting rather than changing the
permissions as the file could be corrupt.

Sometimes the ownership of the file may have gotten changed in the
process. Check & provide the output of:

$ ls -al ~/.ICEauthority

Sorry, wasn't thinking. You *can* delete (I do), but it may be better
just to rename the file & reboot. That way you can always revert to the
old file if something goes wrong.
