xauth: file /root/.serverauth.21597 does not exist
I have seen this when attempting to start a session as root in a console I originally logged into as a user.

What happens with
$ startx /usr/local/bin/gnome-session

or better yet
$ startx
with a user executable .xsession that reads
gnome-session

More info here
