Public bug reported:

Creation of a new user after upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 beta 2 fails in
the following way:

The newly created user can't login at gdm. 
gdm stops and outputs "could not update ICEauthority file /home/username/.ICEauthority"
ls -la /home/username/ at a shell loged in with the new username shows no such file.

Solution to this was:
Use lightdm instead of gdm.
