Check the ownership and permissions of common local X directories and 
files e.g.

$ ls -dlR ~/{.*/dconf,.dbus{,/*}}{,/*}
drwxr-xr-x 1 $USER $GROUP    0 Aug  5  2019 $HOME/.cache/dconf
-rw-r--r-- 1 $USER $GROUP    2 Mar 28  2020 $HOME/.cache/dconf/user
drwxr-xr-x 1 $USER $GROUP    0 Feb 20  2020 $HOME/.config/dconf
-rw-r--r-- 1 $USER $GROUP 1469 Feb 20  2020 $HOME/.config/dconf/user
drwxr-xr-x 1 $USER $GROUP    0 Mar 27  2020 $HOME/.dbus
drwxr-xr-x 1 $USER $GROUP    0 Jul 16  2020 $HOME/.dbus/session-bus
