So what are these environment variables set to and what is the value of
$HOME? I don't see how what you've described could result in the windows
path for $HOME that you've shown. Additionally, the location of the
.Xauthority file suggests that $HOME has a different value when this file
gets created and somehow has changed later when you try to start an X
application.
