rebuilding the X after a brute force shutdown

Well, some days ago I was downloading some files, after get a beverage I realized that I forgot to plug my laptop to the AC so it was shut down, then I tried to turned it on but I could not get the X server running, maybe files such as .Xauthority were locked it, I'm not sure, anyway the steps that I used to rebuild the X were:

1. reinstall xorg: sudo apt-get install --reinstall xorg
2. remove .Xauthority files in /home: sudo rm /home/myuser/.Xauthority*
3. reboot

that's it, it works for me, hope it might work for you
