as already mentioned:
ls -la /home/username/ at a shell logged in with the new username shows no such file (.ICEauthority).

I tried:
copying the file from another user (that actually works) and changing the owner, group and permissions corresponding to the new user. Even using the new file with iceauth show worked without problems.
but login with gdm was still not possible.

the new user was created by "users-admin" and i tried it a few times
with different usernames.

Title:
  creating of new user not compatible with gdm

Status in “gnome-system-tools” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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 (3.0.4-0ubuntu11).
  gdm stops and outputs "could not update ICEauthority file /home/username/.ICEauthority"
  ls -la /home/username/ at a shell logged in with the new username shows no such file.

  Solution to this was:
  Use lightdm (1.0.1-0ubuntu4) instead of gdm.
